You need to set up DNS in order to be able to surf the internet. My suggestion while installing Solaris 10 (or doing a sys-unconfig) would be to choose these options:
1. Set the name service to DNS. 2. Enter the address of the primary DNS server as the IP of your router (192.168.1.1). Leave the other entries for DNS servers blank. 2. Your subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0 as you have it. 3. Enter the IP of your router as the default gateway (192.168.1.1). 4. Set the IP address for the Solaris machine as you did already (192.168.1.7). 5. Set the DNS domain name to the domain name of your ISP (e.g. btinternet.com). 6. Any other questions to do with domain name, just leave on their defaults - they are to do with the NIS and are not relevant. This assumes your router can do DNS forwarding for you. If not, you will need to get the IP addresses of your ISPs DNS servers and enter these instead. Cheers Andrew.
