Hi,
I have tried the configuration mentioned at 
http://blogs.sun.com/popuri/entry/configuring_pppoe_on_bsnl_networks

but it didn't work.I am still unable to connect to internet on Solaris.
Additionaly ,while installing (In solaris install options)I haven't done any 
configuration like DNS and I mentioned Solaris not connected to network.(where 
as my system is connected to internet through router and it is working fine on 
Windows XP)
The file below edited as follows .I have just kept USERNAME and PASSWORD as it 
is for this posting.On my machine I have added appropriate values for USERNAME 
and PASSWORD.

#/etc/ppp/peers/vsnl

connect "/usr/bin/chat -f /etc/ppp/myisp-chat"  # dial into ISP.
sppptun
plugin pppoe.so
connect "/usr/lib/inet/pppoec rtls0"
user USERNAME           # my account name at my ISP
remotename vsnl # name of the ISP; for pap-secrets
noauth                  # do not authenticate the ISP's identity (client)
noipdefault             # assume no IP address; get it from ISP
defaultroute            # install default route; ISP is Internet gateway
updetach                # log errors and CONNECT string to invoker
noccp                   # ISP doesn't support free compression

next I updated 
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
In these two files added the entry as follows

USERNAME        vsnl    PASSWORD
(I have added appropriate vales for USERNAME and PASSWORD on my machine .Also 
there is a tab between two words)
then I run

#/usr/sbin/sppptun plumb pppoe rtls0
#/usr/sbin/sppptun plumb pppoed rtls0
#/usr/bin/pppd debug call vsnl

next step were as follows

#echo nameserver  202.54.10.2  > /etc/resolv.conf
#cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf

#svcs -a | grep dns/client
answer was not enabled

then
#svcadm enable dns/client
and #svcs -a | grep dns/client
the answer was online......

When  I opened my browser(obviously on Solaris) and tried to connect to google 
.It didn't connect.The error was server not found.

My system has all necessary drivers and everything else is OK.
Still I am unable to connect to internet on Solaris.Can anybody tell me in easy 
steps what should I do to connect to internet on Solaris.Whether it requires 
any additional configuration or whatever?or  have I done some mistakes in above 
mentioned steps?The problem remains same even after rebooting.
So ,Please kindly help me if somebody knows the solution.

regards,
Amit
