Thanks to Casper Dik I found out that i had misunderstod the syntax of the command The status parameter is just valid if you use dhcp or auto-dhcp in front: /sbin/ifconfig hme0 dhcp status #is okay /sbin/ifconfig hme0 status #Gives hme0 new address if you have "status" in your hosts file or in your DNS and: /sbin/ifconfig hme0 #Gives information about your hme0 interface. This i got from some other ones: >From "man ifconfig": NOTES It is recommended that the names broadcast, down, private, trailers, up, and the other possible option names not be selected when choosing host names. Choosing any one of these names as host names will cause bizarre problems that can be extremely difficult to diagnose. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ole Martin Refvik _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Dec 10 03:12:10 2001
