Are they both hooked up to the same network?  This will cause a problem.

If not, you should just be able to say

ifconfig le0 inet $HOSTNAME0 netmask $your_netmask
ifconfig le1 inet $HOSTNAME1 netmask $your_other_netmask

(you can even bypass the netmask part if you have a working
/etc/netmasks file, I think...or is that SolariCentric?)

and it oughtta just work.  Could you show what you're doing?

Different companies have different ideas of how to handle multiple
interfaces, and both seem to just sort of work, in their own weird
way.  Sun happened to choose to conserve hardware addresses, and as
a result, you can't really have both interfaces hooked up to the same
network.

But then, I didn't think that bought much anyway.
