Dunno.  It's hard to see your network from here.

How are your network and system configured?  Are you using DHCP or
manually configured ("static") addresses?  If manual addresses, are you
using ICMP Router Discovery, RIP, or some other routing protocol on your
network?

Are you using the default NWAM or some other configuration?  Have you
looked at the system log files?  If so, what do they say?  What does
"svcs -xv" say?

In general, DHCP can (but is not obligated to) provide you with a
default route.  ICMP Router Discovery can also do that.  RIP-2 and OSPF
can do the same job, but are much more flexible and can provide
arbitrary network and host routes as well.  If you don't use any of
those, then you have to configure the default route manually, along with
some way to make it persist.
