Full Discussion: How to ping from Windows to Solaris 10 and vice versa?
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to ping from Windows to Solaris 10 and vice versa? Post 302667223 by roman015 on Thursday 5th of July 2012 10:57:27 PM

I once tried to make a network of 4 Ubuntu machines and I couldn't get them to ping each other "as is". I had to set up VirtualBox to actually create a dhcp server for the devices, after which they could ping each other (And their ip addresses changed as well too) and Then I could do whatever networking I wanted between the devices.

Google for "vboxmanage to create network". You should be able to find links which suggest a command like this one:
Code:
VBoxManage dhcpserver add --netname intnet --ip 192.168.59.1 \     --netmask 255.255.255.0 --lowerip 192.168.59.2 --upperip 192.168.59.255

Hope this helps...

NAME

       ad - Active Directory as a naming repository

DESCRIPTION

       Solaris clients can obtain naming information from Active Directory (AD) servers.

       The  Solaris  system  must first join an AD domain and then add the ad keyword to the appropriate entries in the nsswitch.conf(4) file. The
       Solaris system joins the AD domain by using the	kclient(1M) utility. The AD name service only supports the naming databases for passwd and
       group.

       Windows	users  are not able to log in. The user_attr(4) database has no entries for Windows users, and the passwd(1) command does not sup-
       port the synchronization of user passwords with AD.

       The Solaris AD client uses auto-discovery techniques to find AD directory servers, such as domain controllers and global  catalog  servers.
       The  client  also  uses	the  LDAP  v3 protocol to access naming information from AD servers. The AD server schema requires no modification
       because the AD client works with native AD schema. The Solaris AD client uses the idmap(1M) service to map between Windows security identi-
       fiers (SIDs) and Solaris user identifiers (UIDs) and group identifiers (GIDs). User names and group names are taken from the sAMAccountName
       attribute of the AD user and group objects and then tagged with the domain where the objects reside. The domain name is separated from  the
       user name or group name by the @ character.

       The  client  uses  the  SASL/GSSAPI/KRB5  security  model. The kclient utility is used to join the client to AD. During the join operation,
       kclient configures Kerberos v5 on the client. See kclient(1M).

FILES

       /etc/nsswitch.conf      Configuration file for the name-service switch.

       /etc/nsswitch.ad        Sample configuration file for the name-service switch configured with ad, dns and files.

       /usr/lib/nss_ad.so.1    Name service switch module for AD.
