I wonder why it appears to be so difficult under openindiana and its

Virtually all other OS's I've tried, probably 10-12 or so, have had
provision to quickly and easily setup a static network.... and they
worked straigh away.
I usually configure static IP the old fashion way, disabling nwam and
editing files, but after reading your msg I decided to try the
point-and-click way on a new oi-147 machine I'm setting up... it works
for me! :-)
Installing from oi-b147... once installed the icon on right upper of
gnome window display has dialog for setting up a static network... but
when I follow it, I get a network that even says its connected... but
it goes no where... can't ping anything even on home lan.
System - Administration - Network... type root password...
Show: Wired (bge0)
IPv4 IP: Manually assigned.
Default route: (gateway IP address)
Add: (IP address + subnet)
Show: Connection Status
Locations... Automatic - Edit
DNS: Manual domain: yourdomainname.com
Servers: 1.2.3.4, 1.2.3.5 (DNS servers)
Custom nsswitch file: none, Use Default (/etc/nsswitch.dns)
OK - OK - OK
Network works fine.
