Still have access to the net by IP address, so I figured I'm doing something wrong with setting my primary dns record
so far I have this: /etc/hosts is set with the default localhost 127.0.0.1 stuff. I haven't changed this file at all. /etc/netmasks has: 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 I also tried making that 192.168.1.0 because my internal ip on my box that is online is 192.168.1.n /etc/defaultrouter simply has (which I can ping just fine): 192.168.1.254 /etc/resolv.conf has nameserver 192.168.1.254 nameserver 192.168.1.253 I also have /etc/dhcp.ath0 and I'm able to svcadm restart svc:/network/physical with no error messages. Also, here is my status of my wifi connection: wificonfig -i ath0 showstatus linkstatus: connected active profile: none essid: 2WIRE432 bssid: a mac address looking string encryption: none signal strenth: medium(10) I can't seem to figure out why I can't resolve domain names.
