With apologies if the info is in one of the FAQs - I did read them but may not have realised the info I wanted was there.

The operating system is Sun OS 5.6 (Solaris 2.6) and it was set up to have a fixed IP address. It has now been moved into a different network and needs to use a dynamic IP address.

If someone could give me some assistance with what I need to do I would be very grateful.

Thanks.
 
touch /etc/dhcp.<interface>

where <interface> = something like hme0, bge0, e1000g0, etc

then reboot
