Hi. I am pretty new to the entire Solaris thing. I recently aquired a SPARCstation 4
with SUNos 5.5 . I'm trying to setup my SUN box to access a cable Modem (Motorola Surfboard SB4100) to an ISP Blueyonder in the UK
I have Followed Instruction repeeted below to setup DHCP
touch /etc/dhcp.le0 cp /dev/null /etc/hostname.le0
touch /etc/notrouter cp /dev/null /etc/defaultrouter cp /dev/null /etc/resolv.conf edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and changed the line that says "hosts: " to "hosts: files dns"
after I do these things, I reboot the machine.
While it is booting, I see a message about le0 interface

configuring network interfaces:le0
le0: auto-revarp failed:no RARP replies received

I login as root and do a "ifconfig -a" and see two interfaces lo0 one is the loopback with std 127.0.0.1 ip and the other le0:flags=842inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
ether 8:0:20:7d:a2:42

so the machine as not obtained from the DHCP server a ip address and thus I still can't access any webpages

If the sun is assigned a static Ip 192.168.100.xx it allows you to ping and browse the cable modem at ip 192.168.100.1 so interface and cable must be working

Must be Missing or doing something wrong
