I'm trying to connect two Solaris boxes this way: "solaris2" will access "solaris1". "solaris1" is 192.168.10.11 "solaris2" is 192.168.10.12 I have the following configuration on solaris1 (the box that will be accessed by solaris2): FILE: /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost loghost 192.168.10.11 solaris1 192.168.10.12 solaris2 FILE: /etc/hosts.equiv solaris2 FILE: /etc/hostname.dnet0 solaris1 FILE: /etc/netmasks 192.168.10.0 FILE: ./rhosts solaris2 I can't get the connected. When I ping each other I don't have any response. When I do arp -a on "solaris1" I see "solaris2" with the flag "U" but only right after I ping "solaris" from "solaris1", few seconds later, "solaris2" does not show on the arp cache. Any suggestions?

What is the out put of command # ifconfig -a it seems you mistyped your /etc/netmasks file /etc/netmasks file on both server should look like thn #/etc/netmasks file 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 #end file /etc/netmasks update your /etc/netmasks file on the bote servers. .ed.
