(Summary) getting solaris 9 to use eri0

Thanks all who responded.  Sometimes it's a combination of replies that helps 
the best.  Had a combination of things missconfigured including the netmask.  
And the plumb command and eri0 up worked to bring it up and all is good.

so check:

/etc/hostname.eri0
netmask
/etc/hosts
and ifconfig eri0 plumb
ifconfig eri0 up

Thanks all!

Subject: getting solaris 9 to use eri0

What file do I have to hakc to get a solaris 9 system to use eri0 or the 
hostname and IP to use it?  I have the hostname and IP configured but is not 
putting that information on the ethernet interface.  I do ifconfig -a and it 
show the eri0 but the info is not in there.  The way we ended up there is 
restoring from a similar system then changing all the info.  And this is what 
we have left to change is to point all that info to eri0.  Also tried a touch 
/reconfigure and no worky.  Thanks.<br>The most personalized portal on the
