If the ISP does send you a DHCP packet it should configure:
IP address
netmask
Broadcast address
Router/gateway addres
DNS Domain
DNS servers.
# ifconfig -a should now show : ipaddress netmask broadcast address
# ifconfig -a
nge0: flags=201000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.1.199 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
# netstat -nr should show the gateway ( UG in the display )
# netstat -nr
Routing Table: IPv4
Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ---------- ---------
default 192.168.1.1 UG 1 196
192.168.1.0 192.168.1.199 U 1 15 nge0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 2 1372 lo0
The Files /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf should contain the DNS
configuration
the service for DNS client must be online
# svcs -a | grep dns
online 13:39:22 svc:/network/dns/client:default
Is any of the above NOW missing from you system ?
