I've been able to get it to talk to hosts on the local segment after
manually entering arp table entries with the arp command.
I'll be adding entries for the default gatewa's MAC and having the
networking people add this hosts's MAC to the switch (or router) at the
gateway address.
I think I'll have to call sun to get a fix, since I can't back out the
arp patch, and I don't know of a way to install an older arp patch over
this one - if one even exists.
Ideas on that? This box is a main data wharehous machine and we're
actually losing money while this thing is down - we can't calculate
bills :(
