Then it won't bother you later on. If you are not using IPv6, then I suggest you to remove the /etc/inet/opnodes contents to get rid of it, totally. Then it won’t bother you later on.

I usually change it in these locations (some are sym links) /etc/hosts /etc/inet/ipnodes /etc/hostname.{interfacename} Other areas for setting up networking that I use: /etc/hosts --host info /etc/nodename --host name info /etc/netmasks --subnet info /etc/defaultrouter --gw /etc/defaultdomain /etc/resolv.conf --dns info Good info, thanks!

I usually change it in these locations (some are sym links)

/etc/hosts
/etc/inet/ipnodes
/etc/hostname.{interfacename}

Other areas for setting up networking that I use:

/etc/hosts –host info
/etc/nodename –host name info
/etc/netmasks –subnet info
/etc/defaultrouter –gw
/etc/defaultdomain
/etc/resolv.conf –dns info

It is sym linked back to /etc/netmasks. This file specifies the subnet mask to be used for a given IP address. Sorry, that should be /etc/inet/netmasks. It is sym linked back to /etc/netmasks.

It has the netmasks used for the ip addresses You also may have to change /etc/netmasks. It has the netmasks used for the ip addresses

Thanks for the information,it really helped me in clearing my concept of ip address

when i am running ifconfig -a i am not getting any interface apart form the loopback lo0

how to check which is the interface persent in the system.?

However how do I tell solaris to use the first ethernet (the 10/100 port on the motherboard)? I set /etc/hosts. and saw that the ipnodes file was simply a link to hosts... but I am not seeing a working network connection. I have a second gigabit interface that I don't plan to use yet... I'm assuming that the gigabit stole my ethernet config... short of removing the gigabit, how do I configure my solaris 10 machine in a deterministic manner? What is the "correct" configuration method? There is a network configuration tool in the gui, and it seems to have more to do with "workgroup" type configuration, and nothing to do with ip configuration. I think Sun is trying too hard to be different. Yes, ipnodes is now a link to the hosts file… However how do I tell solaris to use the first ethernet (the 10/100 port on the motherboard)?

Thanks god! In the solaris 10 u4, this is history.

the ipnodes file exists, but points at /etc/hosts.

Thanks god!
