Solaris

Hi,

I'am begineer in this OS. I've installed it few days ago only to perform project "Managing users in Solaris".
I have to create two virtual systems in eg. vmware , connect them and eg. rlogin from user1/machine1 to user2/machine2, give them some permissions to write read etc (this is simply) and something else ...

The first step I have to do is configure network between them. And here is problem. I think that setup of the OS on machine1 and machine2 is set correctly but while I'm trying to ping eg. machine2 from machine1 then error like ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway test_machine is notoriously appearing.

Setup below. Please help and thank you all in advance.

Two machines in VMware (Solaris 10 OS) , both have selected NAT in the network options.
