Use ifconfig -a ( to check ip address)

To set ip address use,

ifconfig <interface name> < ip address> netmask <netmask>

Hi,

to make your network configuration permanent do the following:
put the hostname in /etc/hostname.<interfacename>
put ip-nr. and hostname in /etc/inet/hosts
put netmask in /etc/inet/netmasks

Have a look at Solaris 10 System Administrator Collection - Sun Microsystems

Good Luck
