After installing S10, hme0 int had to be assigned an ip; This is what I have done so far;

ifconfig -a
ifconfig hme0 plumb
ifconfig hme0 ip netmask 255.255.255.0 up

created the hostname.hme0 in /etc.
Modified the /etc/hosts, netmasks, nsswitch.cofg file to the new boxName and Ip. So far so good.

ifconfig -a shows the IP and broadcase correct. Reboot the box and the IP IS GONE with Failed IPV4 msg and svcs -xs need to be check. prtdiag shows the NIC is available.

Deleted the int with hme0 down/unplumb and rebooted, the system comes with the Failed IPV4 error and asks to check the svcs -xv.

So what can I do to store the IP and be able to go online. Any help would be much appreciated.
 
After some more research, I got it to work:

Had to update the /etc/inet/ipnodes look like the etc/hosts and added the /etc/defaultrouter. I am gonna take out the defaultrouter and test to see if I can hit the web.
