Are you able to point to or grab screenshots easily of this 
"network-admin" dialog? It's the first I've heard of it. I'll try to get 
my hands on solaris express too.

The spec doesn't seem to cover names of the dialogs themselves .. in 
solaris express screenshots i see "Preferences" used in the dialog 
title, and stil use of "Configuration" in the tabs.
