Hugh,
Thanks. But some how this didn't work. I did try this before itself.
The NWAM applet shows some error and then switches to Automatic and DHCP :(

Hello All!
This is for my desktop. I want to change default behaviour of DHCP to
static IP.
I am aware of the steps by using the physical:default instead of NWAM.
But, is there a way to set the hostname and static IP using NWAM?
Yes, see below.
I am running the latest internal build. The configuration dialogs are
different from what I was using before.
So, what is the 'official' way of doing it? Thanks
I'm not sure if this is the official way or not, but what I did was:
1. Leave svc:/network/physical:nwam enabled. You don't need to and
should not switch to svc:/network/physical:default.
2. Edit /etc/nwam/llp, replacing the "atge0 dhcp" line with something
like the following (replace "atge0" with your network interface name):
atge0 static 1.2.3.4
3. Then:
# svcadm restart nwam
# route add -p 1.2.3.1 # default route IP address
4. Then configure DNS, etc. You may also want to add the IP/hostname
to /etc/inet/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes -- I have this configured
(and it's recommended) but I also have the local host in DNS via a
local DNS server.
Hugh.
