                Good Morning Managers,

                I have a Ultra2 box and installed Solaris8 core
installation and CheckPoint Firewall1 NG FP2.
                I set up hme0 as external interface and qfe0 as internal
interface.
                I found communication between internal subnets was OK, but
I couldn!/t go through the internet.

                I checked switch port for hme0 interface and suspected
Ethernet address collision because I saw the collision light.
                So I set PROM variable !0local-mac-address?=true!1 and
reboot and there is no more collision light.
                But I couldn!/t ping to the router either.

                I checked arp table with !0arp -a!1 and found default
router!/s Ethernet address didn!/t show up.
                # arp -a
                Net to Media Table
                Device IP Address Mask Flags Phys
Addr
                ------ -------------------- --------------- ----- ----------
-----
                hme0 209.84.146.145 255.255.255.255 S

                I tried !0arp -s 209.84.146.145 router Mac!1
                So !0arp -a!1 showed router!/s Ethernet address but I
couldn!/t ping to the router either.
                Of course, I disabled firewall applications when I tested
it.

                Thanks in advance and have a great day!!!
