I am running a simple home network.
server to linksys router/switch to dsl modem.

I am able to setup free bsd, solaris 8,9 to go to the internet
with just the standard resolv.conf, nsswitch.conf, default router
files.

This does not work with the solaris 10 install.
I am multi booting the OS'es on the same box. So I am sure about
the hardware being good.

I tried installing the s10 using dhcp and that did not work either.

Is there some big difference in setting up the networking for solaris
10
and solaris 8/9 ????

TIA

Not much. You'll need to make sure that, if you modify /etc/hosts,
you've got the same data in /etc/inet/ipnodes.

It'd be good to get some details. How exactly is your system
configured? What effects do you see? What does "ifconfig -a" report?
How about "netstat -nr"? Can you use "ping -n" to reach the default
router? Can you use "ping -n" to reach the DNS servers? Do the
entries in /etc/resolv.conf seem to be right? What does "getent hosts
www.sun.com" say? How about "ping www.sun.com"? Are there noteworthy
messages in /var/adm/messages?

Are you working inside a non-global zone or in the global zone?

Rather than asking "has anything changed" (when you're asking about
the delta between arbitrary Minor releases!), you might want to
describe your problem in detail and see if it's something someone
knows how to fix.

It's not impossible that you've got other problems here that aren't
related to networking. Or that you've got some sort of
misconfiguration that was fine on S8 and S9, but not on S10. Or
you've got some third-party software that's causing trouble. Or the
configurations aren't as identical as you thought. Or any of a number
of different things.
