The short answer is you can't directly; your 192.168 net is not routable
on the Internet.

The long answer is either install a proxy such as squid or a VPN/address
traslator package such as SunScreen.

SunScreen is on one of the Software CDs; 2 of 2 under
Solaris_9/ExtraValue/CoBundled as I remember.
