OpenSolaris on VirtualBox

I've just installed VirtualBox on my PC and installed OpenSolaris as a virtual machine within it. The PC connects to the internet via a router and uses DHCP to get its IP address. How do I configure the OpenSolaris virtual machine to use the same DHCP server so I can connect it to the net. At the moment ifconfig says that the interface is up and DHCP enabled but has a strange IP address. Automatic configuration doesn't seem to want to work.

Any help appreciated.
