I can get it to work with all of Solaris 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, and 2.5.1 libraries.  
I haven't tested 2.6 libraries, but they purportedly work.

Verify, again, that /dev contains all of the following, with these device
numbers.  If these files are not in /dev, network connections will _not_
work (well, ptmx doesn't matter, but the rest do, particularly "tcp" and
"ti*").

crw-rw-rw-  1 bin   bin     43,  10 Nov  5  1997 ptmx
crw-rw-rw-  1 bin   bin     43,  37 Sep  7  1997 rawip
crw-rw-rw-  1 bin   bin     43,  35 Sep  7  1997 tcp
crw-rw-rw-  1 bin   bin     43,  38 Sep  7  1997 ticlts
crw-rw-rw-  1 bin   bin     43,  40 Sep  7  1997 ticots
crw-rw-rw-  1 bin   bin     43,  39 Sep  7  1997 ticotsord
crw-rw-rw-  1 bin   bin     43,  36 Sep  7  1997 udp

These would be created if you did "sh /usr/share/examples/svr4/etc/MAKEDEV all"
as specified in a prior post and compat_svr4(8).

Also verify that /etc or /emul/svr4/etc contains a "netconfig" from either a
real SVR4 (Solaris) box or from /usr/share/examples/svr4/etc/netconfig.
