i don't know the iprange you use... but i think an entry like this:

172.26.0.0 255.255.255.0

in your "/etc/netmasks" will do the job. and i don't know about which icon you are talking... lets use a shell to get everything to work... it's much easier!

and... I'll be needing to enter the DNS server addresses too, where do they go?

thanks

/etc/resolv.conf <-- read the manpage!

and you need to rename the /etc/nsswitch.conf to /etc/nsswitch.old
after that do:
mv /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf

hth,
DN2

hmmm , my /etc/resolv.conf didnt exist, so i created it and entered:

nameserver 80.58.0.33
nameserver 80.58.32.97

(which are both the correct DNS servers, primary and secondary)

and i carreid out the rename and command that you suggested...

ity still doesnt work... any further ideas?

thanks

rebooted your system? or started the dns client?

Code:
# svcs -a | grep -i dns

dns/client should be online!

hi, yes, restarted, but appears as disabled, how do i enable it?

thanks again!

googling this, i've tried :

# svcadm enable dns

and an error pattern 'dns' doesnt match any instances
