It did work for me. Oracle's stupid mistake sure caused me alot of grief. Thanks for helping me out. Oracle reps who I contacted for help were persistent in telling me that I was doing something wrong. I installed Solaris at least a couple of dozen times every time changing the settings slightly to no avail.

Thanks again.
