Solaris 10 Networking

I have just installed Solaris 10 for x86. The install seemed to have worked fine, and I have configured my hostname and am able to login and do whatever. However, networking does not seem to have been installed. I have a router which assigns ip address via DHCP. I would have thought Solaris would have been automatically assigned using this, but no. I went to the good 'ole /etc but didn't find any of the files one would think would be there, such as hostname.<myhostname>, or netmasks, and so forth. I then proceeded in finding a dir named inet (in /etc) which contained some of these files but not all. I can't find the defaultgateway at all!

So to sum up, how does one install networking with Solaris 10. (As far as i can deduce it is a bit different from previous versions Smilie )

Thanks,
Robert

PS. I'm sure this question is asked often, but through the search tool I have found nothing as specific to my topic...
