Pleased to say I am replying using OpenSolaris at last.
I think there may be a drive issue with my network card, there is some
unpredictable behaviour going on - but by turning off the router and the
computer at the wall, then booting them both at same time I have now on 2
occasions managed to get onto the net:
ifconfig -a gives:
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232
index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
rge0: flags=201000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.0.101 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252
index 1
inet6 ::1/128
dladm show-link gives:
LINK CLASS MTU STATE OVER
rge0 phys 1500 up --
netstat -rn gives:

which all looks pretty normal?
its working anyway.
