Interface down on bootup

Seems obvious, but can't seem to find an answer. When I reboot my Solaris machine, the interface is down. I have to run the ifconfig command and I have to add the external routes to my table. What do I need to do to make these persistant?

create /etc/hostname.hme0 (network interface) in this file you put the hostname edit /etc/hosts and add ip-address + hostname and put the hostname also into /etc/nodename
Other option is to "sys-unconfig" and during the boot proces your system with request the right values..

Awesome... Thank you so much. The sys-unconfig command was exactly what I needed. Now I'm off to learn NIS+
There is one other thing... The route to the external network (internet) doesn't want to stay. I have to do a route add every time I re-boot.
Thank you again...
