A lot of people on the net will explain how to setup dhcp, but they do not also state what should be in other files in the /etc dir.
I downloaded and am using OpenSolaris latest version. I was on dhcp with that nwamd daemon running. I then wanted to go to static, so I did the svc swap between nwamd and physical. I then tried my best to configure the NIC vmxnet0 inside the vmware server 1.03. I had verying degrees of success, I could ping the vmware NAT gateway and the Vmware Hosts NIC IP, but I couldn't get out past that to my own router via the Hosts physical NIC. I tried setting /etc/defaultrouter to the vmware NAT gateway, the vmware NAT NIC IP, the Hosts physical IP, the real Router IP, all to no avail. And because I had setup static, I had also changed hosts and hostname.vmxnet0. Now that I am back to dhcp, with a blank hostname.vmxnet0, and the hostname in /etc/nodename, and a blank dhcp.vmxnet0 file, I noticed that everything was removed from hosts. So, I put the line 127.0.0.1 localhost into it. Is that the correct and only line I need? Thanks.
