Solaris 10 isn't OpenSolaris, but it's what you're mentioning in your
'subject' line. I think many of us are confused.

The simplest answer is to set the system up for DHCP when you install
it, or do "sys-unconfig", reboot, and configure for DHCP. I don't
know why you want to have a static configuration here.
If you insist on a static configuration, you'll need to do all of this
to make it permanent on reboot:
- copy /etc/nsswitch.dns onto /etc/nsswitch.conf to enable DNS
(yes, you need DNS for the Internet!)
- add in the location of your name servers to
/etc/resolv.conf.
- add your default router to /etc/defaultrouter
- add your IP address to /etc/hostname.$INTF, where "$INTF" is
the name of your Ethernet interface. (For example, it might
be /etc/hostname.bge0 -- but we don't know.) Include the
subnet mask; as in:
# echo 192.168.1.5/24 > /etc/hostname.bge0
The first two steps can be done without rebooting. The second two can
be done on a running system (without rebooting) by using the "route"
and "ifconfig" commands.
