**reborg,
Actually I installed this system about 3 weeks ago, and yes, I believe it did ask me if I was setting up a networked, or non networked connection. The answer is no, this is a non networked system. As I said above, I am not real Linux/Unix savy. I don't use these systems at work, this is just for fun and my own personal development. Not sure how to run ifconfig, or some of the others that bc5989 suggested. I think it would help me a lot if I knew.
I appreciate your responses.
Eric
Well, a "networked system" is any system that's on a network, like the internet. The installation basically asked you "are you connected to the internet?" and you said "no", so it didn't bother setting up your connection.
Now, don't take this the wrong way, I'm trying to save you the pain
, but if you just want to play around with Unix, I'd suggest you stick with some version of a Linux based operating system and leave Solaris alone, at least until you get proficient with Linux. Unlike most Linux-based distributions, Solaris assumes you know how to configure everything from the command line. With all of the desktop bells and whistles that Sun keeps putting on the GUI, at its core, Solaris is an enterprise OS, meant for servers, not desktops.
I don't want to discourage you from learning, though. But you'd probably learn more if you first lean Linux, then move to Solaris after you are comfortable with Linux.

BUGS
The network synchronization between client and server instances is weak, and does not prevent incompatible options from being used on the
two instances. The method used for retrieving work completions is not strictly correct, and race conditions may cause failures on some
systems.
