Solaris 10 internet access on VMware
Hi, I have Solaris 10 running in VMware on a winxp box so I can learn unix. I can 'ping' all the boxes on our network and yahoo.com (but only if I use the IP address I get back from pinging from an xp box). The error message from the terminal window is unknown host and from a browser www.sun.com could not be found. This is obviously a resolution issue but I don't think it's an xp thing as I installed win2k on VMware and I can get internet access with that.

Oddly enough, I can ping from an xp box to any of our windows boxes by both name and IP and get a reply, but I can only succesfully ping my virtual Solaris box by IP plus I can't ping any ms boxes by name - any ideas?

vmmouse

VMMOUSE(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							VMMOUSE(4)

NAME

       vmmouse - VMware Mouse input driver

SYNOPSIS

       Section "InputDevice"
	 Identifier "idevname"
	 Driver "vmmouse"
	 ...
       EndSection

DESCRIPTION

       vmmouse	is  an XFree86 input driver for mice.  The driver supports most available mouse types and interfaces.  USB mice are only supported
       on some OSs, and the level of support for PS/2 mice depends on the OS.

       The vmmouse driver functions as a pointer input device, and may be used as the X server's core pointer.	Multiple  mice	are  supported	by
       multiple instances of this driver.

CONFIGURATION DETAILS

       Please  refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details and for options that can be used with all input drivers.  This section only
       covers configuration details specific to this driver.

       The driver will automatically detect if the vmmouse device is present and if it is not, it will load the regular mouse driver  and  attempt
       to fall back to it. There are no vmmouse specific options, but if you set mouse(4) options, they will be passed on.

       See the mouse(4) man page for details on these options.
