Solaris 8 on x86 losing IP address

2007-12-24 18:56:00

I have a dual boot Dell Precision 220 with Solaris 8 which loses the IP address every time the machine is rebooted. During the initial install the installed NIC did not get configured, so I continued with no network settings.
After installation, I manually set up the NIC with ifconfig, created a defaultrouter file, modified nsswitch.conf, resolv.conf, and hosts.
Everything works fine, until I reboot, when an ifconfig -a then shows the device's IP address and netmask have been lost.
Are there other files I need to create/modify? Is the ip address set by ifconfig saved in some file? Is there some rc.d script I should be looking at?
Thanks,
John
