All fixed..I found something on sunsolve....
I needed to do "eeprom acpi-user-options=0x2". Upon reboot, ALL is well!!!

original message:

I'm trying to install solaris x86 8 2/02 on a system with an intel 
D845PT motherboard.
It has built-in lan.
The lan info that I've gotten seems to describe the LAN as:
PCI:8086,3013 Intel i815/82559

I made some changes that I found documented in this list...changes to
/boot/solaris/devicedb/master and
/etc/driver_aliases

The interface comes up as "iprb0"

Once I do the ifconfig plumb etc, I can give it an IP and ping itself 
(works fine), but it can't
see ANYTHING else on my network...even on the same subnet...even it's 
router (even after I add
the default route).

The H/W is fine...this pc came equipped with windows-xp, which talked 
to the network just fine.  After
changing O/S's, it wont talk to the network at all (except to it's 
own ethernet interface).

Any ideas?

thanks!
