Thanks to all that responded to my question below.As usual, as soon as I sent the message to sun-managers I fixed the problem, I have included some of the respones below as most of them all say the same..

Make sure that the files /etc/hostname.le1 and /etc/hostname.le2 exist. Maybe
this is the problem. Is there an entry for the other two Interfaces in your
/etc/hosts ??
If this is guaranteed all should work correctly. What about the boot messages
at this point:
Configuring interfaces: le0 ...

ice@syrinx.umd.edu (Fredrik Nyman) writes
Suppose you have an /etc/hosts file (or hosts NIS/NIS+ map) looking
like this:
192.42.1.1 myhost myhost-0 # First segment, le0
192.42.2.1 myhost myhost-1 # 2nd segment, le1
192.42.3.1 myhost myhost-2 # 3rd segment, le2
Your /etc/hostname.le0 (created at system installation) will
contain:
myhost
(just that single line).
Create /etc/hostname.le1:
myhost-1
and /etc/hostname.le2:
myhost-2
And reboot.

> I have a SparCenter 2000 with 3 various S-bus controllers which all have Twisted pair ethernet interfaces on them.le0 was configured at in initial install time and works fine.I would like to use the other 2 interfaces but when I type ifconfig -a I can only see le0 as shown below.
