Clean install
I did a clean install with Solaris 8. However the name of the system when it boadcasts, is differnt from the name that I created at the installation.
When I do an uname -a the name "Server1" comes up. However when this computer broadcasts on the network it sees the old name "Toronto1". How can I correct this problem.

cat /etc/hostname.*
egrep 'Toronto1|Server1' /etc/hosts
nslookup Toronto1
nslookup Server1
ifconfig -a
do all the above result look like you expect it?
If not, please post the one which are wrong.

nslookup Server1-ip
eg: nslookup 123.234.145.12
See if you have Toronto1 in the output, if there is one, then fix your dns entry from the DNS server.
or:
ping -s server1-ip
see if Toronto1 in the output. If it is there than fixup you name service database
