okay i'm not solaris expert yet... but i have setup multiple networkig cards 
in the same machine... you can't connect more than one networking card in one 
machine to the same net.. 
you need to set up each port to a different net

example:
192.168.123.0        192.168.123.106       U        2      3  qe3
192.168.124.0        192.168.124.106       U        2      0  qe2
192.168.125.0        192.168.125.106       U        2      0  qe1
192.168.126.0        192.168.126.106       U        2      0  qe0

there are ways around it but it involves dividing the the network class into 
smaller parts using special netmasks, and is complicated.

you can also look in bonding but it requires a network swich that supports 
bonding.
