I have been trying to set up something similar at home but wanted to do
it wirelessly as the missus is not keen on cat5 running up the stairs
into each room. I am using some wireless bridges (Pheenet WAP 11) so
that the ray thinks it is connected to a normal wired hub. So far I am
only seeing the IP address on boot up. I guess the tftp boot forwarding
is the issue but on the bridges in question there appears to be no
option to enable bootp. Without wishing to stray too much off the
orginal topic I was wondering if anyone has been able to successfully
boot the rays without wires
Thanks

Interesting setup, running your own Ray server...
SunRay at home is awsome. So far I only have 3 set up. Here's my
infrastructure:
SB1K as primary SRSS dual900 and 4gb. Ultra2 as failover cluster
running all other home internal server processes (dns, ntp, etc). On
my desk I have 2 Ray1's for working, sometimes separated to 2 so 2
people can work. I have 1 Ray150 by the stereo for manipulating the
HTPC (sun AX1105-500 based system - sol10 as are the sb1k and u2). I
want to put one in the kitchem in kisok mode showing the house hold
calendar and a browser and a few others around. I've even thought
about one by the front door to head up home automation and alarm
stuff.
I live in a downtown area so most of my friends and I get DSL from the
same CO, I figure I could build a rig with a ray170 and some sort of
router and haul that around and have my login wherever I go - even the
bars that offer networking :-)
In that case your cheapest alternative is probably a couple of used Cisco
Pix 501s or similar stuff from other vendors to create a Lan-to-Lan IPSec
tunnel to your friend's house. They also work as a DHCP server for the
Ray.
What about a pair of WRTG45's - they're manipulatable and getting
pretty cheap too (friend's suggestion). I'm pretty good with Solaris
and basic networking, but once you throw routers at me I get lost
pretty fast.
