Solaris10 on vmware - Internet connection failed

Installed Sun Solaris 10 (5/09) on vmware 6.0 but system is not connecting to internet.
when I check "ipconfig /all" I do not get any DNS Suffix name -- neither for vmnet1 and vmnet8 nor for local ethernet IP. Default gateways are 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2
1. Created /etc/resolv.conf
domain localdomain
search localdomain
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 192.168.1.2

2. modified /etc/nsswitch.conf -- "dns" is added
# hosts files dns

3. /etc/inet/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes are same
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.2 johnjerry localhost

4. reboot...

Is there anything I am missing here? Ineternet is not working on my Solaris 10.
