Part of the network setup in a Unix operating system is the configuration of the default gateway and the dns resolutions, this is what i want to show how it is done:
1) Setup default gateway:
Edit /etc/defaultrouter and set there the ip address from the gateway of your LAN/WAN. The graphic is only illustrative.
2) Setup dns:
Edit /etc/resolv.conf and write there the ipaddress or hostnames of the dns resolvers. The graphic is only illustrative.
Here is a video that displays some examples:

Doesn’t explain that an initial Solaris install doesn’t have the file defaultrouter or resolv.conf, thus they have to be created, not edited.
Also doesn’t mention that after making these changes the network service needs to be restarted (or the machine rebooted). I’d tell you all how to do it but I still don’t know, especially as this “help” was just garbage.
Sorry, if like me, you ended up here looking for solutions. Move along, there’s nothing to see here!!!
Hi Pokeyoats, thanks for taking your time to leave your opinion. I sorry that you do not found what you where looking here. Btw, it is not required to reboot after changing the network configuration, you can do this:
# svcadm disable network/physical
# svcadm enable network/physical
And this would take the new configuration.
