I'd recommend contacting the Desktop community. They're the ones who
support the GUI bits.
I can't say I use them much myself.

I suggest diagnosing the problem before going through repeated
reboots. The system is meant to be deterministic: if you've got a
problem now, you'll very likely still have that problem after a
reboot.

What does "looks fine" mean? Please provide the command output.
What does "dladm show-link" say?

Do this:
# echo 192.168.1.1 > /etc/defaultrouter
That will make sure that (on your next reboot) the system retains the
default route you've specified. The "route" command generally just
affects the running system. (The exception to that is the "-p"
option.)

You'll also want to set up /etc/resolv.conf.

No idea; contact the desktop group.
As for the complexity, this is why we strongly recommend using DHCP
for configuration. That's what it's designed to do, and it makes
things much simpler.
