Solaris 10 ifconfig problems

807557Dec 30 2004 — edited Jan 1 2005
I installed Solaris 10 beta 72 on a Sun Ultra 60 and have had a strange occurance. I had to give the machine a new IP address so I went through ifconfig, using the following commands:

# ifconfig hme0 down
# ifconfig hme0 unplumb
# ifconfig hme0 192.168.10.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.10.255 up

That worked fine. So I went into /etc/hosts and changed the IP address and saved the file. I rebooted and after logging in found it was still using the old IP address.

I must be missing something, but I looked everywere and couldn't find the old address still stored in a file. Has anyone else seen this problem?
