Yes, I can ping from the Solaris x86 to the Windows PC and vice versa. The DHCP server on the network is the DSL router. The Solaris x86 has a static IP address set up inside /etc/hosts. There's no proxy. The Windows PC can access the web without problems. I simply want to run a wget command from my Solaris system to yahoo.com.

Here are the results that you asked for:

Code:

# ifconfig -a 
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
