[SunRescue] hme on LX?

[Stefan Hames]

I just stuck a Sun Fast Ethernet 501-2919 (X1059A) 2.0 card in my 
SS5/170 and had lots of trouble.  I've upgraded the OS to Solaris 2.7 
to get the drivers, since I didn't have the CD.  I can ping the 
router, and other devices on the sub-net, but can't make it work with 
the DNS server, or anything outside of the sub-net come to that. 
(Actually, if I send out multiple packets few make it back, even from 
the router)  I've been through all the stuff in the Answerbook, but 
still no go.  I'd love to see the instructions that come with the 
card, and/or the install CD.  Is any of the set-up stuff included in 
the FE handbook?
