Plumbing problems
Hello
I am new to Solaris and having problems with a PC network configuration--wired to a belkin wireless router and then to a cable modem.
I have tried many of the manual setups listed on the forums with no success--the defaults keep returning and I get an unable to plumb message (I don't even know exactly what this means!). I tried to restart the network, but found that I don't have some of the files /etc/init.d/inetint for example.
The installation seems to have gone well, but I cannot resolve the problem. In another day or so I fear my wife may leave me or force me to reinstall XP--HELP!!!!

I take it this is an X86 system.
try "/sbin/ifconfig nei0 plumb"
plumb is the command to create the device.
next (if the nei is the nic device on your system) do
"/sbin/ifconfig nei0 up
/sbin/ifconfig nei0 address/mask"
then /sbin/ifconig -a to check setup.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I also have this problem with my 2nd NIC card on my SunFire v100 when I install Solaris 10.
I don't see the dmfe1 till I run "ifconfig dmfe1 plumb"
Howerver, after I restart the server, dmfe1 is unplumb. One guy has asked me to create file /etc/hostname.dmfe1 with ip address and netmask inside. But i don't know the format of this file. Does anyone have the sample file ?
Thanks in advanced.

Generally you create a file "/etc/hostname.dmfe1" that contains a hostname(i.e.- secondnic). Then in the host file you define the IP address for the "secondnic".
You can also define only the "IP Address" in "/etc/hostname.dmfe1". As for the netmask...define it in the /etc/netmasks file. See the examples in the netmasks file itself but here is the format:
Network-numbernetmask
example:
class C network
192.168.100.0255.255.255.0
