Ok, removed the second NIc if it was a hw problem. Installed a new 3c 509 instead. Done the plumb thing and still nothing works, also touched a new file called hostname.hme1 and removed the old one le0.

PLEASE Help me!

Hey,

Make sure the driver for your NIC is loaded
correctly. You need at least: /kernel/drv/yourNIC and /etc/yourNIC.conf. It should be shown by prtconf or in /etc/driver_aliases and /boot/solaris/devicedb/master. You can put the static IP in /etc/hostname.hme1 or *.le1. Everything should work.
