I think there is a GUI to do this as well - System/Administration/Network ?
By default you have nwam online from the DHCP type install and you have to
change to default for static IPs.
motie:/home/lw31248 ->svcs -a | grep physical
disabled May_16 svc:/network/physical:nwam
online May_16 svc:/network/physical:default
svcadm disable svc:/network/physical:nwam
svcadm enable svc:/network/physical:default
Then you can set your host file etc
/etc/nodename <= if you change nodename then you need to reboot
/etc/inet/hosts
/etc/inet/netmasks
/etc/hostname.<interface>
/etc/defaultrouter <= or router discovery if this file does not exist
->ls -l host*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Feb 4 2009 hostname.nge0 <your interface type>
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Feb 4 2009 hosts -> ./inet/hosts
/etc/resolv.conv <= Add your resolv.conf
cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf <= change the name service file to what
you need
Enable the DNS client once you have an /etc/resolv.conf in place
svcadm enable svc:/network/dns/client:default
motie:/etc ->svcs | grep dns
online May_16 svc:/network/dns/client:default
online May_16 svc:/network/dns/multicast:default
Then restart the name service cache damon (needs this whenever the
nsswitch.conf is changed.)
svcadm restart system/name-service-cache

I just finished installing OpenSolaris. I can't get any networking to work. I
can't ping any local hosts nor anything on the internet. I assume this is just
because I haven't specified any network settings. The GNOME network manager is
totally different from the network manager I've seen in most Linux distros. How
am I supposed to set my network preferences like:
- My IP Address (my network doesn't use DHCP)
- Netmask
- Gateway
- Nameservers (There's no /etc/resolv.conf file???)
Thanks for any help I get.
