[SunHELP] newbie unclear on post installation steps of solaris 8 on ultra sparc...

I could use a little guidance from the list members. I've gone through
the initial process of installing Solaris 8 onto my Sun Ultra Sparc and
now I'm lost as to what to do next. I already have a w2k network in
place and the intent is to set up the sparc onto this network. Or at
least get it up and running with internet connectivity as a minimum.
I've got a couple of really good student guides that I'm using to aid in
my studies but I'm lacking the kind of documentation that covers post
installation. I've taken the liberty of creating a host record for this
box and assigned an IP to it from my w2k DHCP & DNS servers. I also
selected to install the DNS service during setup. I've added my domain
name and the domain name of my ISP to the resolv.conf file, so what else
am I missing? I seem to be able to ping the other systems on my network.
I get a reply that the server is alive. I know there's still a lot to do
in regards to getting this up and running with full internet
connectivity, so any help or direction is greatly appreciated.
