Issued resolved. It was a problem with the default router not being set correctly. Once I set that, PCA is working like a charm.

Try "wget https://sunsolve.sun.com/patchdiag.xref"; to check whether this is an error from pca/perl or from wget. I don't think that this is the real issue, though: > wget: unable to resolve host address `sunsolve.sun.com' Failed Seems as if DNS isn't setup correctly - check /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf. Try "getent hosts sunsolve.sun.com" - it should return an IP address for sunsolve. You could workaround this by using "--shost=192.18.108.40" with pca. Martin.
