First, are you adding the 172 address as the only address (getting rid of the 129)?
Second - run uname -a - it should tell you what version of Solaris you are running.
Third - look to see if you have an /etc/hostname.* file - see if the * portion is an interface.
Post the info you gather back here. Also take a look at

nodename
nodename(4) File Formats nodename(4)
NAME
nodename - local source for system name
SYNOPSIS
/etc/nodename
DESCRIPTION
When a machine is standalone or its IP address is configured locally, the /etc/nodename file contains the system name. By convention, the
system name is the same as the hostname associated with the IP address of the primary network interface, for example, hostname.hme0.
If the machine's network configuration is delivered by the RPC bootparams protocol, the /etc/nodename file is not used, as the system name
is delivered by the remote service.
Given a system name value, regardless of source, the uname utility invoked with the -S option is used to set the system name of the running
system.
If the machine's network configuration is delivered by the DHCP protocol, the /etc/nodename file is used only if the DHCP server does not
provide a value for the Hostname option (DHCP standard option code 12).
A system name configured in /etc/nodename should be unique within the system's name service domain in order to ensure that any network ser-
vices provided by the system will operate correctly.
Given a system name value, regardless of source, the uname utility invoked with the -S option is used to set the system name of the running
system.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Syntax
The syntax for nodename consists of a single line containing the system's name. For example, for a system named myhost:
myhost
