IP Address Problem

I am using the Sun V440 machine but it has a problem that whenever machine rebooted its IP address is going to flash. So allocation of IP address is required everytime it reboots. So it is creating problem to access the machine via network. Please suggest.Regards,Faisal

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by 'flash' here.

Why can't you assign a static address to it?

Actually, i allocated the IP address as static but rebooting of machine clear its static IP address & i need to define IP again & again. Please suggest

Report the following# for i in /etc/hostname.* ; do echo $i ; cat $i ; done# ifconfig -a#(after a reboot, but before you fix anything)-- Darren

When you say that you defined it as static, how did you do that?

Precisely what steps did you use?
