Configuring LAN connections

Troubleshooting network configuration

Troubleshooting network interfaces largely consists of identifying whether the problem resides in network hardware, network device drivers, or protocol stacks. Ensure that:

the network adapter test was successful
physical network connections are sound.
adapters and drivers are configured correctly.
the ndstat(1M) command reports no problems.
the /usr/lib/netcfg/tmp/ndcfg.log file reports no problems .

You should also use tools appropriate to your network transport to determine whether your local system can reach remote systems. For more information, see:
