gio,
You didn't necesarily do anything wrong.
You do not necessarily have any broken equipment.
There may just be somthing that is incomplete in the setup.
Begin by checking if your network settings were set up correctly by running:
<b># ifconfig -a</b>
(it's usually best to troubleshoot while you are root user)
If the output from the <i>ifconfig</i> command seem to be complete, you could always think about reconfiguring the NIC all over again.
If you are not sure, then just paste the entire output results back here.
Also, use the forum search function, using keyword <u>sys-unconfig</u>.
Next, read the Solaris man pages for sys-unconfig.
That command will force you to repeat the setup of the connection.

ok i paste ifconfig -a
lo0 flags=2001000849<up,loopback,running,multicast,ipv4,virtual > mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
hme0: flags=1000803<up,broadcast,multicast,ipv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.1.88 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 8:0:20:b5:e3:a7
i've see that i'vn't a /etc/resolv.conf file!!!
it's possible?
now i've created it, but it's the same...

So far, so good.
Yes you'll need a resolv.conf file.
Compare your issue with this earlier thread in the Network Configuration Forum:
It was entitled <a href="http://supportforum.sun.com/network/index.php?t=m sg&goto=3916" target="_blank"><u>"configure internet access on sunblade 150"</u></a>
If that doesn't seem to help, you may need to run the <i>sys-unconfig</i> command and then check everything all over again.
