Internet connectivity problem

Hello fellow users and enthusists. I am in need of assistance.

I have installed Solaris 10 on a Gateway AMD Athlon 64 system. It is set up to dual boot with Windows 7. I am attempting to get internet access through another Windows 7 box, which is sharing its wireless internet connection with its built in ethernet port. Windows 7 on the Gateway automatically handles the connection without any user settings required. Though Solaris is acting as if there is no connection present.

When I installed Solaris it checked for a network and apparently detected the connection. I am not sure of this 100%, and do not know how to check to see if it did. I have looked for about a week on the internet and a Google search lead me to these forums. I have ran the dladmn show-link and dladmn show-dev commands in a terminal window. The commands produced no output. Just gave me an empty command line. Since I am a newbie to Solaris I am finding this difficult.

This is the information I have to work with from Windows 7:

Connection soecific DNS- S- mshome.net
Physical address: 00-11-09-A9-D1-E1
DHCP enabled: Yes
IPv4 address: 192.168.197.77
IPv4 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
IPv4 default gateway: 192.168.137.1
IPv4 DHCP server: 192.168.137.1
IPv4 DNS server: 192.168.137.1

Can anybody help me to get my connectivity issue(s) corrected? Thank you. Please feel free to respond via email. I am so new I may need a step by step tutorial to get it right.

NAME
installgrub - install GRUB in a disk partition or a floppy SYNOPSIS
/sbin/installgrub [-fm] stage1 stage2 raw-device The installgrub command is an -only program. GRUB stands for GRand Unified Bootloader. installgrub installs GRUB stage 1 and stage 2 files on the boot area of a disk partition. If you specify the -m option, installgrub installs the stage 1 file on the master boot sector of the disk. The installgrub command accepts the following options: -f Suppresses interaction when overwriting the master boot sector. -m Installs GRUB stage1 on the master boot sector interactively. The installgrub command accepts the following operands: stage1 The name of the GRUB stage 1 file. stage2 The name of the GRUB stage 2 file. raw-device The name of the device onto which GRUB code is to be installed. It must be a character device that is readable and writable. For disk devices, specify the slice where the GRUB menu file is located. (For Solaris it is the root slice.) For a floppy disk, it is /dev/rdiskette. Example 1: Installing GRUB on a Hard Disk Slice The following command installs GRUB on a system where the root slice is c0d0s0: example# /sbin/installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0 Example 2: Installing GRUB on a Floppy The following command installs GRUB on a formatted floppy: example# mount -F pcfs /dev/diskette /mnt # mkdir -p /mnt/boot/grub # cp /boot/grub/* /mnt/boot/grub # umount /mnt # cd /boot/grub # /sbin/installgrub stage1 stage2 /dev/rdiskette /boot/grub Directory where GRUB files reside. See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Evolving | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ boot(1M), fdisk(1M), fmthard(1M), kernel(1M), attributes(5) Installing GRUB on the master boot sector (-m option) overrides any boot manager currently installed on the machine. The system will always boot the GRUB in the Solaris partition regardless of which fdisk partition is active. 24 May 2005 installgrub(1M)
