I'm attempting to change my networking setup from having been using
dhcp to establish a network... on a 10/100 adapter to a static
address on a gigabit adapter.

It seems to have worked to just edit /etc/nwam/llp

from 

  rtls0 dhcp

to 
  rge0  static 192.168.0.29

I get the static address alright and it works on the local lan.
with alphabetic or numeric host IPs.
( Harvey is another host on the local lan.
  ping harvey
   harvey is alive)

However all of a sudden I cannot resolve alphabetic internet
addresses.  While numeric works.

Well right away I think there is something wrong with the resolver but
I've made no changes there.  So maybe something else is involved in
resolving.  I've made no intentional changes in /etc/nsswitch.conf
either.  And don't think it has been involved anyway.

cat /etc/resolv.conf:
  # Comcast name server
  nameserver 68.87.72.130

  # Local gateway router
  nameserver 192.168.0.20

Resolving on the internet fails like so:

   # ping ftp.ucsb.edu
  ping: unknown host ftp.ucsb.edu

But the numeric address of ftp.ucsb.edu works.

   # ping 128.111.24.43
  128.111.24.43 is alive

So it has to be something to do with resolving... 
How can I debug this.

svcs -a |grep physical shows:
  # svcs -a |grep physical
  disabled       21:24:05 svc:/network/physical:default
  online         21:24:43 svc:/network/physical:nwam

I've also tried restarting physical:default... which appears to make
no difference.  Ditto for physical:nwam.
