network trouble in Solaris 10

Hi.
I've tried to setup my solaris 10 using three ipaddresses.
the first two is on the 192.168.204.x net with subnet 255.255.255.0 with 192.168.204.1 as gateway

the third one is on 10.174.1.x with subnet 255.255.255.0 and 10.174.1.1 as gateway.

From the solaris everything seams to work as expected. I can ping both 192.168.204.1 and 10.174.1.1.

But from the net 192.168.204.x the connection seams unstable.
Somtimes I can access the solaris using ssh, other times not. And the ssh client looses contact after a short time. But there is no consistens.

Any ideas?

netstat -rn
and
ifconfig -a
in the code window

I will install several zones on this server, I like to have one for the zones, and one for the global. But if you think this might bee the problem, I'll remove it?

bash-3.00# ifconfig bge2 unplumb

ok. Thanks for the uppdate.
I've done a sys-unconfig, and reconfigured the network. I now only have one interface on each subnet.
But I still can't connect to 192.168.204.30.

bash-3.00# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

If I do
bash-3.00# ifconfig bge2 unplumb

I can connect. But I can't use 10.174.1.x

Plus, I recommend you putting the local-mac-address to true??

This is new to me. Care to explain?
