Aha! I turned off NWAM, as an error message in the GUI said it couldn't activate the network while NWAM was running, but I didn't think to do the "enable network." That did the trick. Thank you very much!

We're trying to attract people TO OpenSolaris, not drive them away. If an old hand like me has trouble, how is a newcomer supposed to figure this out? A product (NWAM) that seems to do nothing and a GUI that does, in fact, do nothing but mangle files? sigh rant off Now to see how to get the Sun Ray software running again. Thanks again for the help; it is _greatly_ appreciated.
