thank you very much
yes you were right cuz when i check it yesterday there was no
defaultrouter.but i had it before i don't know what happened to my solaris at this time ( it was my 10th time during this week but only on this installation there was no default router )
but forget it any way cuz i tried something else today.
i installed it on two other machine ( completely different hardware). one on a Proliant ( dual processor , SCSI hard disk and...)but it didn't detect the hard disk i don't know why.
so i tried installing it on another PC(pentium III 1G,3com lan card and...)
you don't believe me but it worked on this machine without any problem.I still don't know what the problem was with my own machine!!!!( cuz i did the same job)

but there is somethin i want to know :
i my pentium 4 machine , solaris detected the lan card at the beginning but during the installation where you choose whether you want " networked or non-networked"; but default the box non-netword was checked.
but on the pentium III the networked was checked - as expected.

if the problem is my lan card so how did it detect it ?
if not what is the reason ?
if you have any idea please let me know

thanx for your care and time

defaultrouter

defaultrouter(4)						   File Formats 						  defaultrouter(4)

NAME

       defaultrouter - configuration file for default router(s)

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/defaultrouter

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/defaultrouter file specifies a IPv4 host's default router(s).

       The format of the file is as follows:

	 IP_address
	 ...

       The  /etc/defaultrouter	file can contain the IP addresses or hostnames of one or more default routers, with each entry on its own line. If
       you use hostnames, each hostname must also be listed in the local /etc/hosts file, because no name services are running at  the	time  that
       defaultrouter is read.

       Lines beginning with the ``#'' character are treated as comments.

       The  default  routes  listed  in this file replace those added by the kernel during diskless booting. An empty /etc/defaultrouter file will
       cause the default route added by the kernel to be deleted.

       Use of a default route, whether received from a DHCP server or from /etc/defaultrouter, prevents a machine from acting as an  IPv4  router.
       You can use routeadm(1M) to override this behavior.

FILES

       /etc/defaultrouter    Configuration file containing the hostnames or IP addresses of one or more default routers.

SEE ALSO

       in.rdisc(1M), in.routed(1M), routeadm(1M), hosts(4)
