    All fixed..I found something on sunsolve....
    I needed to do "eeprom acpi-user-options=0x2". Upon reboot, ALL is well!!!

    original message:

    I'm trying to install solaris x86 8 2/02 on a system with an intel
    D845PT motherboard.
    It has built-in lan.
    The lan info that I've gotten seems to describe the LAN as:
    PCI:8086,3013 Intel i815/82559

    I made some changes that I found documented in this list...changes to
    /boot/solaris/devicedb/master and
    /etc/driver_aliases

    The interface comes up as "iprb0"

    Once I do the ifconfig plumb etc, I can give it an IP and ping itself
    (works fine), but it can't
    see ANYTHING else on my network...even on the same subnet...even it's
    router (even after I add
    the default route).

    The H/W is fine...this pc came equipped with windows-xp, which talked
    to the network just fine. After
    changing O/S's, it wont talk to the network at all (except to it's
    own ethernet interface).

    Any ideas?

    thanks!
