I've not tried the GUI, but suggest you to check configuration files on your box. Below are few clues. They assume you have no general problem with your networking and it's just GUI playing up.
- /etc/hostname.nge0 - put your hostname in this file - /etc/hosts - put an entry there to have hostname from file above and it's IP address - /etc/inet/ipnodes - should have the same entry as file above. It may be that /etc/hosts is actually link to it, but I can't get to my box now to confirm - /etc/netmasks - if you're using subnetting make sure your network mask is there - /etc/resolv.conf - make sure you have entry there for your name servers - /etc/nsswitch.conf - make sure you have dns next to hosts - you can achieve it by just doing cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf > I'v been fighting with the networking in snv_87 all night.
