hi i have a solaris system hostname sun router (IP) 10.xx.xx.1 IP 10.xx.xx.20 network id 10.xx.xx.0 mask 255.255.255.0 where problem is i can't ping from solaris machine(sun) to any PC across the subnet ( with IP as well as name). resolution --> /etc/defaultrouter is in order --> network card is properly setup and running --> can ping any system on local subnet including router(with IP ! DNS is across the subnet). --> can ping from other PC's(win) on same subnet to systems across subnet using same default gateway settings ( that is routing settings at router are okay) . --> netstat -r (shows following output ) sun% netstat -r Routing Table: Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface no keysno keys-- --------- 10.xx.xx.0 sun U 3 2460 hme0 224.0.0.0 sun U 3 0 hme0 default 10.xx.xx.1 UG 0 37756 localhost localhost UH 0 6502 lo0 sun% --> /etc/netmasks 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 --> it takes unreasonably long time to set default interface for multicast during boot. any suggestions where the problem could be. thnx

I have the same kind of problem. Except my system won't boot. Did you ever get this resolved? In my case the developers were trying to assing multiple IP addresses to the 1 nic on this machine. They had it pretty hosed up. It stil should boot though?
