Does it say anything in the messages files? (on Solaris it's
/var/adm/messages).

I seem to remember it was the nsswitch that caused me all the problems and
made me reboot. Then again, the first time I set up a Solaris intel box, I
rebooted, reinstalled, and just made a mess of things more than once :)

So this was sort of the problem (the nsswitch.conf).
When I installed, I swear I selected DNS. I entered the DNS servers. All
was good. BUT the installer copied the DEFAULT /etc/nsswitch.conf over
from /etc/nsswitch.files instead of the /etc/nsswitch.dns (which uses name
resolution instead of *no
Solaris has a utility called /usr/sbin/dhcpconfig. I've never used it, but
it may be worth trying out.
Also, when doing ANY Solaris-related stuff, I strongly recommend
bookmarking the sunmanagers mailing list search page:

This is an excellent list. Just

AHH good idea. I knew there was something else in /etc that I just
couldn't think of that handled resolution.
I know the card is working, I can ping things by IP just not by their name
(no lookups happen). I can even ping my DNS'. I will try the /etc/hosts to
make sure it can resolve that way.

I know in linux the change is immediate (at least with your resolv.conf),
I don't see why in Solaris it would be different. The nsswitch bit might
not be quite as dynamic but I've always been able to change nameservers on
the fly.

Did you check the nsswitch.conf file to make sure DNS is listed for name
resolution? That one always gets me on Sol7-intel. Also, I think you might
have to reboot for it to be re-read, at least, again, on 7 you do.
Also, try putting another line in /etc/hosts and see if it will use that,

My experience with Solaris is on the Sparc machine, I assume PC is the same,
but you have to choose No DNS during install, then add it after the machine
is up. Thinking..there is a file called..thinking again.. You

Hrm, I've never worked with DHCP clients on Solaris, but I do struggle with networking
on solaris 7 regularly.
First I would check the thruput of your network card(s). There is a bug where, if
your card is set to auto-negotiate it will tend to flake, so we hard set all our nic
cards, and corr
