I do not recall an interface type of "dent" but I do not know them all.    Did you switch OpenSolaris from the default "nwam" to "physical"?  OpenSolaris uses DHCP by default which is controlled by "nwam".

Find the options by

svcs -a | grep physical

svcadm disable nwam
svcadm enable physical

Edit
/etc/inet/hosts                  <= /etc/hosts is a link
/etc/hostname.dent0           
/etc/inet/netmasks            <= /etc/netmasks is a link
/etc/defaultrouter             <= if you have one  or you can let router discovery do the job

Then either "init 6"  or ifconfig

ifconfig dent0 plumb
ifconfig dent0 inet <IP> netmasks 255.255.255.0 broadcast <IP>.255 up

route add default <IP> 1        <= Not needed if you use router discovery


There is a GUI to do this to in the top toolbar
