A bit off-topic for a Linux list, but when ou run the network command 
configuration (/sbin/ifconfig on Solaris, if I remember correctly), what 
does it report for your IP address and broadcast address? Do pings to 
broadcast addresses show the presence of other devices, especially your 
gateway? What does it say in /etc/resolv.conf about the IP addresses of 
your DNS servers? And are you using DHCP to set up your network 
configuration, or hard-coding things?
