Check to make sure the router thinks the IP address is correct for each box. I've had a case where my Linksys router got reset by a power outage and lost the info for my static IP on my network printer. Maybe something like that happened to you.
Also make sure your Solaris box is set up for dhcp properly. Solaris assumes you're getting a static IP unless you set up the networking explicitly to use dhcp. Windows is the opposite - dhcp is the default and you have to set it up static if you want that. Thus if you didn't change anything in the network settings your Windows box is probably happy but the Solaris box not.

NAME
dhcp - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DESCRIPTION
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) enables host systems in a TCP/IP network to be configured automatically for the network as they
boot. DHCP uses a client/server mechanism: servers store configuration information for clients, and provide that information upon a
client's request. The information can include the client's IP address and information about network services available to the client.
This manual page provides a brief summary of the Solaris DHCP implementation.
Solaris DHCP Client
The Solaris DHCP client is implemented as background daemon, dhcpagent(1M). This daemon is started automatically during bootup if there
exists at least one dhcp.interface file in /etc. Only interfaces with a corresponding /etc/dhcp.interface file are automatically configured
during boot. Network parameters needed for system configuration during bootup are extracted from the information recieved by the daemon
through the use of the dhcpinfo(1) command. The daemon's default behavior can be altered by changing the tunables in the /etc/default/dhc-
pagent file. The daemon is controlled by the ifconfig(1M) utility. Check the status of the daemon using the netstat(1M) and ifconfig(1M)
commands.
Solaris DHCP Server
The Solaris DHCP server is implemented as a background daemon, in.dhcpd(1M). This daemon can deliver network configuration information to
either BOOTP or DHCP clients. The Solaris DHCP service can be managed using the dhcpmgr(1M) GUI or the command line utilities dhcpcon-
fig(1M), dhtadm(1M), and pntadm(1M).
DHCP Configuration Tables
The Solaris DHCP server stores client configuration information in the following two types of tables:
dhcptab tables Contain macros and options (also known as symbols), used to construct a package of configuration information to
send to each DHCP client. There exists only one dhcptab for the DHCP service. The dhcptab(4) can be viewed and mod-
ified using the dhtadm(1M) command or dhcpmgr(1M) graphical utility. See dhcptab(4) for more information about the
syntax of dhcptab records. See dhcp_inittab(4) for more information about the DHCP options and symbols.
DHCP network tables DHCP network tables, which contain mappings of client IDs to IP addresses and parameters associated with those
addresses. Network tables are named with the IP address of the network, and can be created, viewed, and modified
using the pntadm command or dhcpmgr graphical utility. See dhcp_network(4) for more information about network
tables.
