Dear people,

I have to say that by configuring the /etc/netmasks file with the 
appropriatte data the system works OK  !!!!  I've forgotten to edit this 
file, because if I did "ifconfig hme0" ths mask was ffffff00,  and the 
/etc/netmasks  file had other mask, it's not clear to me. 

So I get Internet with static IP. With respect to DHCP Solaris 
configuration, I don't know why dhcpagent could not get an IP, but this is a 
topic I'll investigate in other moment, not now (maybe the /etc/netmasks was 
not empty and thsi was the reason ???)

You helped me a lot, I'm really thanked.
Greetings !!!!

Alejandro
