Hello, I am having a problem configuring my primary interface, le0. In the past, on Ultra 5's mostly, I configure it during installtion and it works fine. Here is the problem:

My primary interface is le0 (ifconfig output)

le0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu1500
inet 192.168.0.15 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
ether 8:0:20:77:4b:55

I recieve link light on my switch also, but I cannot ping or be pinged by any other node. I can ping myself, however. I have a hostame.le0 file in /etc with my IP, and my hosts file has an entry for my hostname and IP. I have verified the cable works on another machine. I have tried to use NDD -get to get the card parameters, but if I get le0, it says no such module. If I drop the 0 and do a get on just &quot;le&quot;, which is in the /dev directory, I get &quot;operation failed, Invalid argument...&quot; Short of trying every combination of speed and duplex, is there any way to find out my card is/can be set for?

Thanks in advance

Thank you. Everything is working fine now - I eventually tried every combo and got it working! Then I put in a quad from another box, so Im using qfe0 now at 100/full.

Thanks again!
