Can not connect to the Internet with Solaris

Post by wmaroulis »

I am running Max OS X 10.6.5 and have a Solaris VM 10/9 (software is up-to-date). I am using NAT and have tried Bridged, but I am not able to connect to the Internet from the VM. It is working fine for the MAC and the other VM I have which is FedoraCore 13.

Solaris config info:

ifconfig -a
...
e1000g0: ...
inet 10.0.0.64 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
ether ...

netstat -nr

Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface
------------- ---------- ------ ---- ---- -----------
default 10.0.0.1 UG 1 4
10.0.0.0 10.0.0.64 U 1 24 e1000g0
...

Question - should "default" have an interface or is there something else I should be looking at?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Compare the network settings from Solaris with one of your Linux Guests when they are both set to NAT. DHCP settings should apply the right configuration.
