Solaris

Hi all,

I want to telnet/ssh my solaris 10 which was installed in VMware and my host OS is windows 7. I have set the ip address properly in /etc/hosts, /etc/netmasks, /etc/defaultrouter. But when i try to connect it through putty ti shows network connection error.

any help is appreciated

Thanks in advance

Are you able to ping it?

did you check your console login ..... /etc/default/login .... then chk /dev/console ....

There's nothing wrong with Solaris. You need to check VMWare Network Connection Editor. Are you using Host-Only network, or Bridged, or NAT for the Solaris VM?

Host-Only has to be the network type if you want to connect to the VM through PuTTY or anything else from the host OS.

@fpmurphy
ping is not working . It shows Destination host unreachable

@coolboys
What i should check in there

@admin
intially it was NAT later i changed to bridged , but again i changed that to Host only. But still that problem exist

Please help

have #console = /dev/console....in your /etc/default/login....... if you dont have Hash symbol then you cant connect any machine ......

I edited as you said. But actually it is not pinging first i think it means there is no network connection. ifconfig -a shows everything correct. I think there is something wrong in vmware network connection. I assigned solaris ip as 192.168.1.5 vmware ip (what it shows in windows 7) 192.168.31.0 and windows 7 ip is 192.168.1.2 . Default gateway: 192.168.1.1

I dont know where i am making mistake

Any suggestion ?
