I'm new to Solaris so please have patience...
I have installed Solaris 8 on my intel based system. I having problem getting the network working. I have a Realtek RTL(8139)A network card. How can I find out what my network interface should be(dhcp.??? and hostname.???)?
Any tip???

Thanks

try as root
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
le0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.0.105 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.168.04.255
ether 8:0:20:7c:310

to know your hostname
# hostname <enter>

or cat /etc/nodename
if you like to plumb your interfaces
/for example:
# ifconfig hme0 plumb
# ifconfig hme0 192.187.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
