Since you are using the rge driver, you might be getting bit by CR6686415. http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6686415
The symptoms are that some packets work, more likely with small packets like pings, but large packets might not work. I've also had trouble not being able to talk to systems on my LAN, but able to get to the internet. Try the workaround in the CR. -- richard Peter Bridge wrote: > Thanks for the replies, it seems like I may have to rewind a bit here and fix > some network issues on the solaris box before I can move forward with the OSX > connecting... > > As I mentioned, ping between boxes works fine.
