Stuck assigning IP
Solaris 9 on x86: I have a 3com 3509c NIC in there (it's on Solaris's HCL).
It finds the NIC during installation. However, when I try to let it get an IP (via DHCP) it cant get one. Even though my DHCP server is working perfectly.
So I assigned an IP manually during installation. Seems ok, but when the system rebooted, it looks for a DHCP server. Why does it do this when I specified static?
I log into the system, do an ifconfig -a. It shows the loopback, and it shows my NIC as e1x10.
But the IP is not assigned to it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
