To resolve DNS problem in OpenSolaris, follow these instruction:
Check if the DNS client is already running$cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
and see this result$svcs -a | grep dns
If the result doesn't look like this one, you can restart NWAM and then see the result:online 14:17:45 svc:/network/dns/client:default
$pfexec svcadm restart network/physical:nwamBecause the DNS client uses "/etc/resolv.conf" to find the "nameserver". Therefore, run
make sure I had this entry in there.$pfexec vi /etc/resolv.conf
where 192.168.1.2 is your DNS server IP.nameserver 192.168.1.1
****After those instructions, try a ping ($ping www.google.com) to see if you can access Internet or not ?
$ ping www.google.com
When you see:
www.google.com is alive
It means that now you can surf web ^^
There are some cases when you can still not access Internet and you will see this after a ping
ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway 192.168.1.3
for icmp from 192.168.1.3 to tx-in-f147.google.com (72.14.203.147)
ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway 192.168.1.3
.....
Don't worry, just do as follow to resolve default gateway problem :
- Open file /etc/defaultrouter and then check if there is a default gateway IP in this file. If there is not, manually add your default gateway (usually 192.168.1.1).
- Run the following command
$pfexec svcadm restart network/routing-setupThen, enjoy your life with OpenSolaris.

Those entry was solved under help of many Sun Microsystems staffs and reference in this article.
