Solaris Express
I installed Express snv_55b 64 bit on HP dc7600 with XP.The default installation used DHCP, IPv6. I used ifconfig to change the setup. However, my setup of IP, netmask, defaultrouter etc will all be gone after reboot. I Is this normal? Or this version of Solaris does not allow this kind of change?

No version of solaris has ever kept changes made with ifconfig to my knowledge.You need to change /etc/hosts, /etc/inet/ipnodes, /etc/defaultrouter, /etc/netmasks

If you're having trouble setting up the various files correctly that were listed above. You can also do as root (su) from a terminal:
sys-unconfig
This will cause a reboot of the system and all setting to be lost. You'll then be walked thru setting up your network and you can change the various settings as you wish. It's ugly, and I consider it a last resort but it's also available.
