VirtualBox Version: 4.0.8

Host OS (Problem seen on Windows Vista and Ubuntu11.04 hosts)

Guest OS: Solaris 10
Guest Addtions 4.0.8 installed on the Solaris Guest

Problem I have seen is that when I create a host only adapter for the guest it is not seen by the Solaris Guest:

Code: Select all

ifconfig -a

on guest does not list the adapter.

Code: Select all

ifconfig vboxnet0 plumb

returns

Code: Select all

 ifconfig: cannot open link "vboxnet0": DLPI link does not exist

By way of checking I have installed a linux guest VM on each of the hosts and these pick up the vboxnet adapters with no problem.

I have tried iterating through each of the emulated NIC types for the host only adapter as configured on the host .

All to no avail.

Am I missing some additional configuration step that is only required for Solaris guests?

Thanks in advance

The main thing you are missing is directions to the "Solaris Guests" forum. Here you are off topic and deserve to be ignored.
