pb when modifying IP address, subnetmask, ...

807559Dec 12 2001 — edited Jan 18 2002
Hi,

im running sun sol 5.6 on Sun Ultra 10.
I had to modify network parameters like IP address, subnetmask and gateway.
I modified the following files :
/etc/inet/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.X.X.X saturnin (the new IP address)

/etc/inet/netmasks
10.x.0.0 255.255.248.0 (i changed only the netmask and not the network number)

/etc/defaultrouter
10.x.x.x (new IP address for Saturn)
10.x.x.x (new gateway as said techn. admin.)

/etc/resolv.conf
domain xx.xx.xx (domain name)
nameserver 10.x.x.x (new IP address of primary DNS server)

After a reboot, i get a message at the beginning :
"configuring network interfaces : ifconfig: ixway bad address hme0", and the network is unreachable from the server.

In order to help you, here are some files :
/etc/nodename
saturnin

/etc/net/*/hosts
ixway ixway

/etc/hostname.hme0
ixway

When i try to ping the server, i obtain the following error message :
ICMP Net unreachable from gateway localhost (127.0.0.1) for icmp from localhost (127.0.0.1) to saturnin (10.x.x.x).

Could help me please? What is the problem?
Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,
Thierry
