lo0 is the loopback interface for the localhost (127.0.0.1). look with dladm "show-dev" for your physical interface. if no interface is shown with the above command you need a solaris driver for your nic...

Isn't that the default for VMware? I remember people having losts of problems with the pcn driver in VMware and choosing a different interface emulation with AE and e1000g were the most frequent. If this is a vmware setup you should probably consider changing the virtual machine in the same way, the VMWare pcn / Solaris combo doesn't ( or at least didn't) work too well.
