I'm sorry, I shouldn't have posted this late, I got this done already, thanks anyway. For anyone looking for a solution, I used:

Code:

wificonfig -i ath0 connect (wireless network name)

Code:

ifconfig ath0 dhcp

And then I changed my /etc/nsswitch.conf file. I changed the line:

hosts: files

to:

hosts: files dns

Oh and don't forget to add your DNS addresses in /etc/resolv.conf

But I would like to know what file I can add commands in, so that Solaris runs them when I boot Solaris.

Try this

wificonfig -i ath0 connect (wireless network name)
ifconfig ath0 dhcp
In /etc/nsswitch.conf file. I changed the line "hosts: files" to "hosts: files dns"
add your DNS addresses in /etc/resolv.conf
