[Sunhelp] Reconfigure networking on Solaris 7?

[Erik Parker]

Erm. Its fairly easy to switch network configs..

etc /etc/nsswitch.conf
change /etc/hosts
change /etc/defaultrouter
route add default newgateway
edit /etc/resolv.conf  with new nameservers, domain, and that jazz.

Nothing more to it. Its simple.
