Sparc Classic DHCP / Networking Issue

I don't even know where to start on this one.

I have an old sparc classic that I use as a webserver. The problem is
the only way I can get an ip for it is by going classic eth -> old
dlink DE-809TC hub -> new dlink di-624 router. I have my box set with
a static ip and I have the router setup to accept its static ip along
with running the dhcp.

Anyone have any idea on how I can get rid of the hub?

Thanks,

GP

A good guess is that you are having auto negotiation issues
with the router directly to the Sun box. The hub acts
as a willing go between.

I don't think you can hardcode the port speeds on the dlink.
You might not be able to get rid of the hub in this config.
