Default Gateway keeps dropping off

[visvid]

I am applying some patches today and each time i do a shutdown -i6 -g0 -y when the system reboots it looses it default gateway, which is a pain.
Each time i am having to add it
ifconfig hme0 plumb
ifconfig hme0 inet [ip_address] netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast [broadcast_address]
ifconfig hme0 up
ping <node_address>
I have checked /etc/defaultrouter to confirm gateway address is in and checked the /etc/nsswitch.conf file as well.

Any ideas

Hi there!
Did your Sun Box looses its NIC's IP Address too?

yes i have just down another i6 and ifconfig -a shows ip address is missing ... i did add this to the box when i built it ?

Hi,

Do you have a /etc/hostname.hme0 file. It should exist with your servers hostname in it.

Hope this helps.

Yes i did , what we have done is run again the S69inet and S30network.sh as when you typed hostname it came back as unknown , this seems to have worked, but we will know on th e next reboot after installing vxvm

running those to scripts seems to have done the trick, but still unsure why it should of dropped out in the first place
