I have a standalone system that runs Solaris8 sparc and because of system requirements the computer has a static IP address. I had selected that dhcp not be used when loading the system. This was fine until I loaded the Solaris 8 Recommended patches. Now on bootup I get 5 messages of the same thing saying: /sbin/dhcpinfo: connect: connection refused Does anyone know how to get rid of this. I have tried a number of things but to no avail, nothing seems to work. The system works fine, but I would like to get rid of this message. Thanks, Mike

Here is what the bootup sequence looks like: ok boot Boot devices: disk:a File and args: SunOS Release 5.8 Version Generic_117350-41 64-bit Copyright 1983-2003 Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Hi, can you check do you have entry in your file /etc/dhcp.[your_network_interface]. Delete this file, and dhcp agent will not be started. Regards Lavr
