I didn't see the beginning of this thread but the message above caught my eye. When I tried to install on my ultra5 here (for details see my "Mixed news: new IP 1.0.9 on Ultra5" message) I had what sound like a very similar problem with the hme on the SunSwift (scsi/ethernet) board. It was detected as eth0 successfully (the onboard hme was detected as eth1) but it didn't seem to be able to receive packets properly. tcpdump from the remote side showed it sending out arp queries and showed the corect reply being sent back but the ultra just kept sending out arp queries as if it hadn't received anything. The card itself works fine with Solaris. I ended up removing the card completely after which an installation went fine with the on-board hme (apart from later non-network problems that I mention in the other message). --Malcolm -- Malcolm Beattie Unix Systems Programmer Oxford University Computing Services
