cannot ping or see anything...

I am sooo confused.

Got an Ultra with Solaris 9 on it. Hooked it up to router in my home office, configured DNS, worked great.

Trying to load some software, got apache (via blastwave) it was loaded and configured. It runs, but my system cannot see any systems on my network.

It is hardcoded IP to 192.168.0.11, hard wired to a router at 192.168.0.10, ping does not see anything. Lights on router show valid connection. Checked /etc/hosts, defaultrouter, /etc/net/* all look correct.

ifconfig -a reports the correct information (proper ip address & netmask FFFFFF00)

I did a sys-unconfig and tried reloaded, no luck.Apache still works though (locally of course). :-)

BTW, no pings are replied to from this system either.

Tips/Pointers/RTFMs greatly appreciated.

Check the following

1. Check to see if TCP Wrappers is (mis)configured on the system

2. Check if the router has any access lists .

U can try to connect to any other box through telnet etc if only ping is not working

for eg.

telnet <mail-server> 25

4 things come to mind:

Bad cable

Bad NIC

Do you see the UP flag in ifconfig's output?

Did you set the router IP to xx.xx.xx.10? They usually come configured to xx.xx.xx.1.
