I have disabled nwam..
However i would like to know how to use nwam?

coming to the main picture...
i can ping only my host ip..
anyother ip or anyother dns is not working!!!
But i can assure you that my network interface is being detected...

$network-admin
when the window opens up, my interface is shown as active and its nge0.
it also shows up on ifconfig -a

lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
nge0: flags=201000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask ff000000 broadcast 0.255.255.255
ether 96:bd:ea:fc:1b:0
lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252 index 1
inet6 ::1/128

can you tell me what am doing wrong???

btw am using a on-board ethernet card from nvidia!!!
My winxp gets the ip automatically....
So i thought of setting up DHCP on solaris, when that didnt work i tried a static ip format but that didnt go as planned either
