finding my NIC card

[DedeMole]

some people have install a nic card onto my SUNBLADE 2000 but I'm not sure if it is working right. How do I check to see if the card was installed correctly??? I've been trying to get out on the network with this machine but seem to be failing....

I've also noticed that on boot up i get an error message--
ifconfig: plumb: hme0: bad file#

Any idea what this is about and how do I get rid of it????

under PROM model,issue the boot -r command to boot your machine.or you can iusse the devfsadm command if you don not want to a rebooting.

then,issue the netstat -ain to check if there is a nic in the output list.if there is then we can tell that there is no problem with your card.if not,change a card

at last,we can use the ifconfig to configure the card,assign it a proper ip and mask.or modify the below files manually:
/etc/hosts
/etc/hostname.hme0(maybe not hme0,decided by the output of netstat -ain)
/etc/netmasks

good luck!
