Yes. I can ping localhost or ping 10.0.0.53 successfully and I have suspected
from the start that it is a driver problem.
/etc/modules.conf:
alias eth0 sunhme
I loaded the driver "Sun happy meal" from a YaST selection menu. Solaris calls
it "hme0". Perhaps this is a 10 Mbps driver instead of 10/100? Although Solaris
on Sun4m machines usually indicates "le0" (Lance Ethernet 0) for the older 10
Mbps driver.
Thanks for the interest. I downloaded Mandrake 7.1 sparc yesterday and installed
it on the same Ultra 5 and had no problems whatsoever - the machine is
networking just fine so it is clearly some problem with network drivers and
Ultra 5 on SUSE.
