the title of this post states most of my problem. I am trying to connect to the internet for like 3-4 hours. But for being a total newbie at unix environment I failed pretty badly. How can I configure a working internet connection in solaris 11? After trying for so long I finally managed to go this far---- Seems ok to me. But whenever i try to open a webpage say http://www.google.com, it says "failed to connect to the internet, try again!".
I know I have messed it up somehow, but please somebody help me out. I thorough instruction can save my life here. I am posting it from windows as I can't access internet from solaris. Thanks in advance.

I understand your frustration, but I wanted to let you know that you should really put a specific question somewhere in your post in the future per the SuperUser posting guidelines. That being said, could you open up your terminal (that black box in the menu bar up top), run the

IPv4 IPoption set toDHCP assigned. Let me know if that does anything. – ubomb – 2014-04-07T21:04:51.673How is the network configured when running Windows ? – jlliagre – 2014-04-07T21:16:06.143

@ubomb dhcp enabled is not working im afraid. the network sign becomes yellow and the wired net0 connection becomes "not connected" whenever i do that – allocated – 2014-04-08T06:43:12.473
