peer-to-peer connection on solaris and windows

hi everyone.

As a solaris/unix beginner, I am trying a peer-to-peer connection with my Sun and Windows.

Here is my setup:
-Windows XP
-Sun System (Netra T1) which is connected to the console of the WinXP machine.
-Windows XP has wireless connection which enables me to access internet
and a LAN card where I connected my SUN system thru crossover connection.

-I had tried to set a static ip address on my sun system using
/usr/sbin/ifconfig eri0 192.168.2.160 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.1
--from what i understand, the broadcast is the default gateway of my wireless connection in windows xp.. please correct me if im wrong.

--i tried to ping the two systems, but i am not able to communicate.
--also, i tried to use sys-unconfig to reconfigure the network but it just hang-up after the last process wherein, it only shows an error:

svc.startd [7]: svc:/network/nis/client:default: Method "/lib/svc/method/yp" failed with exit status 96

any insights? or maybe i am not configuring my solaris system properly.
thanks a lot..

SYNOPSIS

       In /etc/network/interfaces:

       mapping <interface> script essidscan

DESCRIPTION

       The essidscan utility is used to tell the ifup and ifdown utilities about the current SSID of the WLAN currently being accessed.  It can be
       used to map the SSID name to an iface stanza.

CONFIGURATION

       A sample /etc/network/interfaces may look like this:

	  mapping hotplug
	    script /etc/network/essidscan
	    map SSIDONE  wlan-work
	    map SSIDTWO  wlan-work
	    map HOME

	  iface wlan-work inet dhcp
	    wireless-key     1234-5678-9ABC-DEF0-1234-5678-9A
	    wireless-keymode restricted

	  iface HOME inet static
	    address	     192.168.2.4
	    netmask	     255.255.255.0
	    gateway	     192.168.2.1
	    wireless-essid   HOME
	    wireless-key     s:somepassword
	    wireless-keymode open

	  iface DEFAULT inet dhcp

FILES

       /etc/network/interfaces
	      the interfaces definition file

       /etc/network/run/ifstate
	      a record of the current state of the interfaces, managed by ifup and ifdown
