My Handwriting Is So Bad Even I Cannot Read It
Last Time I Had Those Blank It Said Failed To Plumb Devices At Boot
Iv Tryed Many Different Ways To Get DHCP Working, But Whats Come To My Attention Is That Solaris Needs A Hostname For The DHCP Server, Which My Router Doesnt Support, So Whats The Workaround? If There Is

Sorry, I didn't see the updates on this entry for some reason.
You can shutdown with sys-unconfig and when it comes up it will go through a small dialog and you have a chance to set up your network connection. If you can't do it the way jlliagre is suggesting you can try that.
Lol Im Afraid That Didn't Work For Me Every Time I Did It,
I'v Just Taken The Easy Way Out And Went Back To OpenSolaris,
Will Try With Solaris On My Laptop Machine Tommorow When I Get It Back From Techies And Il See If I Can Get It Running, Thanks For All The Help Guys

Yeah I know the feeling bud. I installed and got rid of Solaris many times over the years. This time I think mine's going to work, but it is a lot of work!
