This is partly because Solaris network config is so scattered and
obfuscated, and you're used to looking for settings in a bazillion
places ... it's a lot easier here:

/etc/sysconfig/network; change HOSTNAME, GATEWAY, maybe DHCP_HOSTNAME.

>Change IP address tied to an interface: edit /etc/hosts
>Change netmask edit /etc/netmasks

Those will be in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, or the file
in that directory corresponding to your interface.  Params of interest
are IPADDR, NETMASK, NETWORK, BROADCAST, BOOTPROTO ("static", "dhcp", 
etc), ONBOOT (usually "yes", except for pcmcia-based nets and special 
cases).

You may find netconfig helpful, too.
