[indiana-discuss] IPS is unable to resolve repositories after assigning static IP

[Haik Aftandilian]

I think the easiest way to setup a static IP is to edit /etc/nwam/llp as described in the nwamd(1M) manpage.

  $ man nwamd

By default, OpenSolaris 2008.11 uses the nwam (network auto-magic) daemon to configure your IP address. This is supposed to make configuring networking easy and it is configured to use DHCP out of the box. If you want to configure networking manually, you can disable the nwam daemon and enable svc:/network/physical:default.

  $ svcs network/physical
  STATE          STIME    FMRI
  disabled       20:37:09 svc:/network/physical:default
  online         23:29:49 svc:/network/physical:nwam

I haven't tried the gnome tools, but I believe they do not disable nwam and enable svc:/network/physical:default for you.
