Hi,
I can't make the network connection. The cable and hub should be fine since they are working on other systems. I've used 'mktcpip' as well as 'smit tcpip' to configure the interface, and was able to ping the system itself, but I can not ping the gateway - no response. After reboot, the IP disappears from the interface. Here are some output. Please help. Thank you!

[/COLOR]Update: I've made the connection after en1 has been configured.
The next question is how to troubleshoot the en0 issue. How can I find if the interface is broken or not?
Thanks.
