So I've had Solaris Express Developer Edition (9/07 build) installed on my computer since around late October or early November. The installation went flawlessly except for one issue: the internet didn't work. I started with turning off NWAM and setting up the connections manually in the GNOME network admin interface, trying both static IPs (the information recorded from Windows ipconfig) and DHCP. The network has DHCP on it and it works fine under Windows.
Fast forward to about 2 days ago, I accidentally booted into Solaris (don't use it that much anymore since I can't get the internet to work and I'm too lazy to install anything else) and figured I might as well see what happens. After screwing with the network admin again, it worked. Joy. It is now broken. Again. Apparently Solaris thinks there's no DHCP server on any network it connects to. Over the last few months, I've been through all sorts of different things including beta drivers and God knows how many ifconfig commands. I did a sys-unconfig tonight and that had no effect. It still couldn't find any DHCP servers. The GNOME network admin tool seems to be a bit wacky too; it doesn't save its data properly all the time. Anyway, I'm at my wits end here, so if anyone has any ideas that would be grand. I suspect it may have something to do with the DNS, but I've double checked them many times and they were the same even when it was working...
