RE: Problem with 7.31 UC2 on Solaris 8
John
7.31.UC2 _may_ have been earlier than Solaris 8 so may not know about the tcpip changes in Solaris 8 - to resolve this get the latest version of IDS. You need the latest SUN patches on Solaris 8 (dont recall which one specifically). I think you also need to enable IPV6.
