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 !!!!
