I ad troubles applying a static address as well. And some of the
guides are related to older versions of solaris as well so they may
still apply but there are newer ways of doing some of the steps.

Here is what I do:

1. /etc/nwam/llp
   bge0  static  10.2.2.132/24

2. /etc/hosts
   127.0.0.1     localhost  foo.my.domain foo loghost
   10.2.2.132 foo.my.domain tape loghost

3. route -p add default 10.2.2.1
   -p to add it permanently. This does not always work so I also add item 7.

4. /etc/nodename
   foo

5. /etc/defaultdomain
   my.domain

6. DNS
   Copy /etc/nsswitch.dns to /etc/nsswitch.conf.
   Start dns-client with
   svcadm enable svc:/network/dns/client

7. /etc/defaultrouter
   10.2.2.1

HTH.
