Well you've confused me!

Are you trying to connect from your SPARC box to your router through wi-fi? If so, you need a wi-fi interface on your SPARC.

Otherwise.............

You should be able to use the ifconfig command to display the ip address of the host (SPARC box) which will tell you the ip address which it's using.

The file /etc/hostname.e1000g0 should contain only the host name of the SPARC box (not the ip address).

The file /etc/hosts should contain the host name and ip address of the SPARC box (and any other foreign hosts ip addresses that you want it to be able to look up locally without using DNS). One record MUST have the host box name+ip adress.

The /etc/defaultrouter file contains just a single ip address of the default router on the first line of the file, left justified, nothing else. This tells the host where to send requests for connections outside the local network, ie, the internet. Don't forget you'll need DNS servers configured for that too.

If you have all this correctly configured and it still doesn't connect then post back here.

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.
