Networking Solaris 8 to W2K network

I have solaris 8 installed on an intel based computer. Everything is working fine, except I can not get it to connect to the network. The cable is pluged in and during the isntallation, I put in a valid ip address. I would like a step by step guide on how to connect the solaris to a network to browse the web and share files. Any help is appriciated.. Thanks in advance.
