You probably already know this much but with VMWare NAT is just that (your host is acting as the NAT device). You would have to have the interface on the virtual machine configured for dhcp.

With Bridged, it is "present" on the network your host is on and would get an address from your network's DHCP server.

A few things to think about:
Are you using wired or wireless network connection on the "host"?
Is the virtual machine getting DNS?
Can it ping anything locally (The IP of your "host", for example, maybe a local server sor something)?

I would try running some sort of other OS in a virtual machine real quick to see where the problem if. If Ubuntu live CD can work and get on web sites then it is something with the Solaris configuration.

NAME

       vmware-xferlogs - dump vm-support output to vmx logfile

SYNOPSIS

       vmware-xferlogs OPTIONS FILE

DESCRIPTION

       vmware-xferlogs is a simple console application and can be run as any user. It is based on rpctool to dump the vm-support output to the vmx
       log file base64 encoded. It can dump any file supplied on the commandline to the vmx log. It also does the decoding part of it. It can read
       the vmware.log file decode and write the encoded files in the directory it was invoked.

       Example of a transfer found in the vmx log file:
