obtain bad address bge0

Hi

i was changing the ip address, gateway and dns of a sun solaris 9 machine. i have edited the files hosts, resolv and defaultrouter elsewhere. however, i forgot to copy the edited hosts file over and reboot the system. i thus obtained bad address bge0 and when ifconfig -a , it shows inet 0.0.0.0. have used terminal to get in and managed to use vi to create a file and mv to replace the hosts file. (hosts file is read only under vi). after reboot, inet still is 0.0.0.0. Have then use ifconfig command to change it and it manages to change to the required ip address. But the problem lies here, after reboot, the inet jumps back to 0.0.0.0 although the hosts file is correct now..

any one knows a solution to this? please..

thanks
