Hi Kegnut,

I am facing the network problem, I am expected that, because of IPv6 enbled.
I have installed Solaris 8 on 420R, after installing I found the network errors at SE Tool kit, before it is woking fine with 2.6.
Even the IP Address is not using the IPv6.
Ifconfig -a output

lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 3.61.128.207 netmask fffffc00 broadcast 3.61.131.255
ether 8:0:20:bf:b8:fe
lo0: flags=2000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 8252 index 1
inet6 ::1/128
hme0: flags=2000841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2
ether 8:0:20:bf:b8:fe
inet6 fe80::a00:20ff:febf:b8fe/10

I am getting the following errors at SE Tool kit, Please help me , if you any idea.

I have used the following commands, still I am getting same

I have check the Network card and it is connected to 100Mbps Switch.It is working fine with Solaris 2.6, After Installing I found this errors.

Please give me a help on this..
