Solaris Network doesn't work properly

Hi to all!

I want to learn step by step easily how to configure my Solaris for network. I know alot about Solaris Network configuration. But I have some problems.

When I install Solaris, and I plug-in my network cable to Solaris. Then I run:
ifconfig -a plumb
then I do
ifconfig bge0 dhcp

It don't get IP from dhcp.

I edited my /etc/default/defaultrouter file and I removed comment of SIG TERM (something like this) comment and I restarted. But again it don't get IP from my dhcp server. BUt all other Linux and Windows OS runnig computers in my network does.

And when I give my IP address manually with ifconfig, I cannot ping from my windows OS to hostname of Solaris.

my solaris OS's hostname is Solaris.
When I ping in windows to ping Solaris... It cannot find my pc
but when I try to ping to SOlaris OS's IP I can...

Please advice about networking basics in SOlaris.

Thanks alot
