[Sunhelp] Configuring Networking

Did you try rebooting?  (Yes, I know this isn't Windows, but unless you've
had training in Solaris, it might be the best way to get something to
work)

A good place to start would the the output of the command 'netstat -r' -
that command prints out the kernel routing table.

Sorry, can't help there.
