As some one posted earlier, the current solution appears to be:

> /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/ip ip_respond_to_echo_broadcast 0
>
> // should be added to /etc/init.d/inetinit to be permanent.

This took care of the problem for me. [Solaris 2.5.1 on Sun Ultra
1-140] Thanks to all.

Next question. What other problems could disabling this ip_response
param. cause? Is it a good permanent solution for internet servers?
