Connectivity between Solaris 10 in VMWare and windows Host
I have installed Open Solaris 10 on VMware which is hosted on Windows XP, my PC.

I would like to have a connection between Solaris and Windows, so that i can SSH/Telnet from windows to Solaris. I don't have any Internet connection.

Please help me with the network connection settings i have to change in Solaris and windows.

Hi,

If you are using VMWare, usually VMWare creates some virtual network device. You may check those virtual network device. Mine (in Ubuntu) called vmnet1, vmnet8.

Then, check whether your Virtual-Machine is NAT or bridged. Usually it is NAT.

So, if your Virtual-Machine is NAT, and your vmnet8 address is for example: 172.16.20.1, then your all Virtual-Machines would be 172.16.20.2-254

Easier Trick:
If your Virtual-Machine is NAT, the default gateway of Virtual-Machine is the IP-Address of your Real-Machine.

Form your Solaris, run this:

Code:
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
e1000g0: flags=1004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 172.16.240.129 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.16.240.255
        ether 0:c:29:64:3b:37

That 172.16.240.129 is my Solaris VM IP-Address.
So, from my windows, just putty (or any other ssh client) to that IP-Address.

I think yours maybe the same.
