Thanks to all who replied. To clarify the setup: I have checked all the NIS/Network files in my install server Boot directory /jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_2001-10/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot Everything is fine. Several of you have suggested that there may be a conflict with another bootp server on this same subnet. That is a possibility as this is a building of several departments and each department with it's on sysadmin. Does anyone know of a utility in Solaris to check for other bootp servers on the network. I know Windows 2000 has something like this. I do have the Profile configured to set the NIS info. for NIS server and netmask. I have the client and the boot/install/config server plugged into an isolated hub and uplinked to the global network. During the boot net - install process, if I disconnect the hub from the network for about 1 minute after the "2ae00" process and then reconnect it as soon as it goes to "Configuring /dev and /devices" the the install works perfectly and it reboots with all the correct name service settings. This works but it's not practical when I have 20 machines to configure and a rotation every few months. Any further suggestions would be appreciated and I will follow up if I find a solution. Thanks for the help, Jim Dickert _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu Mar 7 10:44:16 2002
