and more than that...
Here we go:
You got lots on your hands for what your experience level appears to be. If you have a static ip, and you want to assign it, my first advice is "man ifconfig", that will get you started. Mostly this is going to look like, "ifconfig le0 -netmask put.your.netmask.here ip.address.goes.here". Now you have your ip set, but you've got nowhere to go, U-Neda-Route...
This is usually, and you NEED to know what your default gateway/router is here, "route add default ip.of.router.here". This can be automatically set in the /etc/defaultrouter file in Solaris, at least it used to be, just put the ip in there.
A quick "netstat -nr" should tell you what your routes are and from which interfaces and such. Take a look.
Now, you are needing even more, you must "resolv" your problems further. So, I'd look at /etc/resolv.conf, then I'd add in my lines:
domain searchdomain.com
nameserver ip.name.server.here
nameserver ip2.name.server.here
Now, you have resolv, but do you know to look at it? NO!! You must go too find out where you can look at reolver versus local resolution. This is in nsswitch.conf, and here you must consult the man page, but mostly it will ask you in what order you want to look at things for resolving. When it comes to hostname, you want ot look at files, then network, then whatever else you may run.
I think the ifconfig will be permanent, but just to be safe, read the man page, they are sometimes cryptic, but a MUST for anyone who wants to know what they are doing.
You must also have an editor you are comfortable with for this, if this tells you about me, I like any old vi....
As a matter of fact, read the man page for each command mentioned above, they will all help immmensely, and you may come across some info you've been looking for....
Later,

netx(8) System Manager's Manual netx(8)
Name
netx - TCP/IP net exerciser
Syntax
/usr/field/netx [ -h ] [ -tn B ] [ -pm ] nodename
Description
The exerciser sets up a stream socket connection to the server in the TCP/IP internet domain. With connection made, the exerciser writes
random data to the server; the server loops the data back to and the data is read and verified against the data written out.
The exerciser runs in conjunction with the server.
The exerciser by default will use the port number of the echo service in the file. Make sure that the TCP echo service is enabled in the
file (no `#' in front of the service). The exerciser will run until or kill -15 pid is sent to the process. The nodename is the remote or
local system host name running the server.
Options
The netx options are:
-h Print the help message for the command.
-tn Run time in minutes (n). The default is to run until the process receives or kill -15 pid.
-pm Specify port number to use in internet domain (m < 32768). Note that this option is not used with the server, so you should
never have to use this option.
Restrictions
If there is a need to run a system exerciser over an NFS link or on a diskless system, there are some restrictions. For exercisers that
need to write into a file system, such as the target file system must be writable by root. Also the directory, in which any of the exer-
cisers are executed, must be writable by root because temporary files are written into the current directory. These latter restrictions
are sometimes difficult to overcome because often NFS file systems are mounted in a way that prevents root from writing into them. Some of
the restrictions may be overcome by copying the exerciser to another directory and then executing it.
Examples
The following example exercises the TCP/IP network from the local host to node keel until a or kill -15 pid is received:
% /usr/field/netx keel
The following example exercises the TCP/IP network from the local host to node photon for 180 minutes in the background:
% /usr/field/netx -t180 photon &
