cant setup network Sun Solaris 10 on Vmware

papiseckfr · #1 (**permalink**) 08-19-2008

Hi all,
I have install sun solaris 10 on vmware server and i cant ping the solaris guest machine from the host and vice versa.

The enable network card in the host machine is an wifi card so I know that i can't use bridged network from Vmware.
I tried to use host or NAT but it seem not to work
Any help or advice is welcome
Thanks in advance

Solaris 10, 32-bit guests supports the Flexible network adapter driver. If VMware Tools is installed on the guest, the adapter driver identifies itself as Vmxnet. If VMware Tools has not been installed on the guest, the adapter driver identifies itself as pcn.
After installing the Solaris 10 Operating System on a virtual machine, the pcn driver appears. Install VMware Tools and reboot the virtual machine to ensure that the default pcn driver switches to vmxnet.
Solaris 10, 64-bit guests support only the e1000 network adapter driver.
