I am trying to change the ip address of the hme0 interface on a Sun Box and have somehow managed to erroneously change the output of ifconfig. Right now when I do an ifconfig I get <UP, POINTOPOINT, NOTRAILERS, RUNNING, MUTICAST>. The POINTOPOINT is incorrect, it should be BROADCAST. How do I change that?

Also, when I try to do
ifconfig hme0 broadcast 10.2.129.255, it tells me that it is a bad address.

Any help is appreciated.
