hi all

iam trying to set my eri0 interface but with little luck .
when i set the ip using ipconfig i always get "bad adress"..
moreover when i use ifconfig eri0 i can notice that the inet is 0.0.0.0 and the netmask 0
i am runnig solaris 9 on sparc .
any helpis highly appreciated ...
thanks in advance

can you post exactly what you are entering for ifconfig, there is little anyone can do or suggest without seeing that.
