how is your solaris machine resolving hostnames to ip addresses? is it trying to go through dns? (have a look in /etc/resolv.conf) Mike

Try running a traceroute from ur solaris machine to your AIX machine and vice versa. check and see it if it takes the right path. make sure ur default gateway is set properly in your system. check and see if there are any static route table for any wrong entries. see if the NICs are configured properly( simplex, half duplex of full duplex mode).

Try to see how your AIX machine is resolving names too. You can try:
[tt]
export NSORDER=local,bind4
telnet SunMachine
[/tt]
for your AIX machine. AIX with try to resolv the names of the clients trying to telnet to it.
I hope it works...

try this:

1. check if the two machines (AIX/Solaris)are on the same network, say - the default gateway.

2. check/try to use "ping" command (e.g.,ping{ip address})

3. check your /etc/hosts table - define each server in each hosts file
