Disabling DHCP on Solaris 8

To switch from using DHCP to hardcoding your IP:

1. Delete /etc/dhcp.interface-name (hme0 for instance)

2. Make sure your hostname is in /etc/hostname.interface-name

3. Make sure the correct entry for your machine is in /etc/hosts.

4. Reboot.

In my case I simply wanted to turn off DHCP altogether for this

client. Sys-unconfig wouldn't work for me since the machine was

geographically elsewhere. Answerbook also hinted that the existence

of /etc/dhcp.interface-name tells the machine to use DHCP. I had

originally had difficulty because instead of removing

/etc/dhcp.interface-name I had renamed it to /etc/dhcp.hme0.sol8 like

I typically do to be able to go backwards. Some regular expression

probably just looks for /etc/dhcp* so it wouldn't work until I blew

it away.

Thanks,
