Solaris

HI Admins,
I am trying to run internet on solaris 10 on vmware workstation 6.5..
I have vista on my laptop.

I tried following:
1. enabling DHCP and NAT on virtual network editor...for NAT I tried
vmnet host:vmnet0 start/stop.
2. ifconfig -a showing pcn0 running for both ipv4 and ipv6....
3. if i use bridged....then the network icon on solaris shows receciving.....and speed gets fast..but it wont display the page...all the time server not found error...

Please advise....if possible please mention the step by step settings...so that i won't miss anything...

Thanks a lot

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.
