Solaris

I think IPS may be a improvement to the old package system. I find that Solaris 11 with IPS, that installing software is much easier.

It says it is already configured

ifconfig: SIOCSLIFNAME for ip: e1000g0: already exists

Anything else that I can try

your interface is configured... the output from your first post was a bit weird. can you ping from your VM to the outside world?

Trying to ping from VM machine to my local system:

====
ICMP host unreachable from gateway (192.168.1.4) for icmp from (192.168.1.4)
no answer from (192.168.147.1)

Issue Fixed to connect putty to VMware Sun Solaris Box

=========
Tried following steps :

1. Edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config --> PermitRootLogin yes
2. Configure the VMWare settings
1. Select Network Adapter as Hostonly
2. Edit the Virtual Network Editor
Select the VMnetx[0/1/2/] -> Provide the Subnet IP of same range, for example I gave static IP as 192.168.1.4 to my machine so my settings appeared like this:

Subnet IP: 192.168.1.0
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Hope this helps

If you can't ping your host from Solaris box which is in the Vmware than check your firewall ICPM settings. If your host is Windows than check from command line firewall configuration

Code:

netsh firewall show icmpsetting 
netsh firewall show currentprofile
netsh firewall show allowedprogram

from your Solaris box execute

Code:

cat /etc/inet/hosts

and check is there IPv4 address of your Windows host, if not than add it and restart network services using svacadm restart or reboot.

Don't use root remote login because this is not safe, you can easily log on as root once you get access to regular user account with su command.

thanks for all of you Gurus, I am really appretiated.
