Win2k3 with Solaris 10 u5 guest Networking Help Needed

Post by lespaul20 »

I have Windows 2003 Server with a Solaris 10 VM inside of VirtualBox 2.0.2. I am needing to use host interface since the Solaris will acting as a server. I created a new virtual Interface and assigned it but I still cannot ping from either side of VirtualBox. Is there some trick I need to know? Has anybody else got Solaris running on a Windows guest?

What did you do more than assign the VM to a Host Interface? Did you set any IP address on it? Did you bridge it to a physical interface so it's available on the network if you need that? Please be more specific.

I figured it out. The bridging part got me confused for a little bit. Thank for the reply.
