1. "OpenSolaris" and "Solaris 10" are two different versions with some
differences in how the networking works. Which did you install? I'm
guessing "Solaris 10" based on the reference to sys-unconfig, unless you
used the soon-to-be-discontinued SXCE.
2. What do the commands "ifconfig -a" and "netstat -rn" say? Make sure
the netstat command lists at least one entry for "default" and that the
ifconfig command lists at least one entry other than "lo0" and that this
other entry needs to say "UP" and have a valid IP address ("inet 1.2.3.4").
3. If ifconfig does not give a valid interface, what hardware and
network interface are you using? Is this wired or wireless?
4. What network options did you choose after sys-unconfig? Fixed IP or
DHCP? DNS for name lookup? Etc.?
5. If you selected DNS, do you have valid nameservers in
/etc/resolv.conf? At least on Solaris 10, this file will be created
even with DHCP (OpenSolaris uses NWAM which is different). What happens
if you type "ping 1.2.3.4" where 1.2.3.4 is the IP address of your DNS
server.
6. In general, when debugging, start with "ping <numeric IP>", and with
another IP address on your local network (such as the defaultrouter
gateway). I.e. not hostnames. You need to get this working before name
lookup.
7. While trying the "ping" command above, run "snoop" as root in
another terminal. Take note on whether this shows anything incoming at all.

PS: you would probably have gotten a better reply to your first question
by providing more detail of your system and what you tried.
