This is what I have used to set it up all this time.

But I have something even WEIRDER.  

I have to use static IP addresses because this if for a apache and tomcat web server and a mail server.  So I did the following:

svcadm disable svc:/network/physical:nwam
svcadm enable svc:/network/physical:default

I created an /etc/hostname.bnx0 file with the following:

69.146.183.59

I put the following in my /etc/resolv.conf file:

nameserver 69.144.49.30
nameserver 69.146.17.2

I created an /etc/defaultrouter file with the following:

69.146.183.57

That is the "gateway" the ISP gave me.  I'm not sure that is correct.  ???

I then rebooted the system.

DNS still does not work.  BUT CHECK OUT WHAT IS NOW IN THE /etc/resolv.conf !!!

I used to have a wireless router with that info plugged into the modem.  This machine has NEVER seen that wireless router.  And I unplugged everything from the modem and rebooted it before I ever plugged this server into it.

So, I'm still stuck with /etc/resolv.conf getting overwritten, even with nwam disabled!

I just put the correct nameserver info in it again, chowned it to root:netadm and am rebooting now, to see what happens...
