You should be able to use the "network" tool on the desktop to configure the network interfaces. You will have two interfaces listed - lo0 which is the local loopback interface - to allow the computer to talk to itself over the network, and another interface with a name that depends on the driver it is using, e.g. pcn0 . Also, set your host name as follows:
put your IP address into the file /etc/nodename . Make sure there is nothing else in the file, e.g.: 192.168.0.1 Put the host name of your computer (e.g. "mysolarispc") on a line like this in /etc/hosts: 192.168.0.1 mysolarispc This ensures that gnome won't complain that the host name isn't set. Once you've made the changes, reboot to make sure all of your changes have been picked up, then try pinging something on the network. First, try to ping your internet router, e.g.: ping 192.168.1.250 If that works, try pinging a host name, e.g.: ping google.com (Don't try pinging sun.com or opensolaris.org as they don't respond to pings, so obviously won't work). If you can ping google OK, then open Firefox and check you can browse the web. Cheers Andrew.
