After a while I see these messages again in the /var/log/messages on the client: Apr 25 21:38:02 solaris kernel: RPC: garbage, exit EIO Apr 25 21:38:33 solaris last message repeated 70 times Apr 25 21:39:34 solaris last message repeated 122 times Apr 25 21:40:01 solaris last message repeated 55 times Apr 25 21:40:01 solaris crond(pam_unix)[4701]: session opened for user root by (uid=0) Apr 25 21:40:01 solaris crond(pam_unix)[4701]: session closed for user root Apr 25 21:40:02 solaris kernel: RPC: garbage, exit EIO And this keeps repeating...... No entries on the server though..... Which file do I have to edit in order to set the NIC into fixed state. I know that I can use mii-tool to check and set, but is this permanent, even after a reboot? Thanks in advance, Angelo
