To clarify the situation I have a WIFI extender plugged into the domestic 240v mains wall socket. The device itself has been configured to be a bridge between my domestic ISP modem/router and any device that uses wifi. The wifi extender has 2 female RJ45 ethernet sockets on the deive to allow ethernet connection between the Wifi extender and the proposed machine (in this case my SPARC server. The Wifi extender connects to my Router box via wifi.
WhenI first installed Solaris 10 I had to install the ethernet port

Please wrap all code, files/data, input & output/errors in CODE tags.
It makes it easier to read and preserves multiple spaces for indenting or fixed-width data.
Code:
(ifconfig e1000g0 plumb up)
When this was done there was no IP address assigned to the e1000g0 device. So I had to assign an IP address that my router box could accept
Code:
ifconfig 192.168.0.22 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + up
I shall rectify the /etc/hosts and the /etc/hostname.e1000g0 files. If this process fails I shall return back to you
I hope I have clarified myself more with this post!

bootparamd
BOOTPARAMD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual BOOTPARAMD(8)NAME
bootparamd -- boot parameter server
SYNOPSIS
bootparamd [-ds] [-r router] [-f file]
DESCRIPTION
The bootparamd utility is a server process that provides information to diskless(8) clients necessary for booting. It consults the
/etc/bootparams file.
This version will allow the use of aliases on the hostname in the /etc/bootparams file. The returned hostname to the whoami request done by
the booting client will be the name that appears in /etc/bootparams and not the canonical name. In this way you can keep the answer short
enough so that machines that cannot handle long hostnames will not fail during boot.
OPTIONS -d Display the debugging information.
-s Log the debugging information with syslog(3).
-r router The default router (a machine or an IP-address). This defaults to the machine running the server.
-f file The file to use as boot parameter file instead of /etc/bootparams.
FILES
/etc/bootparams default boot parameter file
EXAMPLES
When netbooting diskless SunOS/Xkernel SPARCstations the booted SunOS kernel also broadcasts to the all-0 address. The SunOS kernel hangs
until it receives a reply. To accommodate this behaviour add an alias address that responds to an all-0 broadcast. So, add something like
'ifconfig xl0 192.168.200.254 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 192.168.200.0 alias' on the relevant network interface on your bootparamd
server. The alias address must of course be free for use.

BUGS
You may find the syslog(3) loggings to be verbose.
