Summary:
Thanks to the following for their help:
Joel Lee, Justin Zaglio, Geoff Weller and Sean Cheney
for their timely help.
Sean Cheney especially helped me learn more of what I needed to know
on the ifconfig command on Solaris 2.4. Their advice seems to have
fixed the problem.
I needed to do
ifconfig le0 mtu 1450
( or some number less than 1500) on
the Solaris server and it seems to be fine now.
Again, Thanks for the great help.
