Recently got ss20, installed solaris 7 and have no network
connection,
the interface tests fine from the bios,
but on boot I get

le0: No carrier - cable disconnected or hub link test disabled?


ss20 is hooked up to cisco 837, cable was tested, tried to change
speed from auto full duplex to 10 full duplex, and 10 half duplex - no
result.

It looks like your network configuration is broken.
Check the files

/etc/hostname.le0
/etc/nodename
/etc/inet/netmasks

and change the line of file /etc/nsswitch.conf

from:
hosts: dns

to
hosts: files dns

If you cannot find the reason for your network configuration problem
then run "sys-unconfig" to re-configure your system completely.

What if you do ifconfig le0 192.168.1.211 netmask 255.255.255.0 up ?

thanks for the input Roland, I did sys-unconfig and now it tells me
le0le0: No carrier - cable disconnected or hub link test disabled?

on the config screen. I suspect it is something between my cisco 837
and sun sparcstation 20.

or a broken NIC on the ss20.
