Solaris guests unable to route anywhere with NAT network

Running MacOS 10.14.3 on MacBook Pro 2018 2.9GHZ i9... New laptop, nothing loaded prior to this.
VBox 6.0.4
Solaris 11.4 and 11.3 guests using NATed network.
Unable to route anywhere can't get Repos to see Oracle support.
Is there something special I need to do to get the network going?
I'm going to roll back to the last version of VBox 5.2 and see if that works... See if I can find something in the forums...
Thanks
Dennis

Any
good reason why you hijacked some completely irrelevant thread titled "
What is the latest version of MAC OS I can use with VB 6.0?"?

Can you explain that? Does basic networking work? Like pinging for example?

solaris guest with NAT works fine for me (on host Solaris 11.4)
as a side remark I think "ping" cannot be used with the Oracle main repo,
it may be a better idea to use a local mirror
Code: Select all
# ping pkg.oracle.com
no answer from pkg.oracle.com
I believe that the no answer is normal. You can still retrieve info like in
which works for me despite the no answer on 'ping'.
When using a different mirror (that responds to ping) the ping test is a good test, of course.

It may be a good idea to check that you have an ip address:
for example as on a 11.3 guest:
Code: Select all
root@moon:~# ipadm
NAME CLASS/TYPE STATE UNDER ADDR
lo0 loopback ok -- --
lo0/v4 static ok -- 127.0.0.1/8
lo0/v6 static ok -- ::1/128
net0 ip ok -- --
net0/v4 dhcp ok -- 10.0.2.15/24
net0/v6 addrconf ok -- fe80::a00:27ff:fe4a:8c02/10
and despite the fact that on this NAT guest:
Code: Select all
root@moon:~# ping pkg.oracle.com
no answer from pkg.oracle.com
the following works fine for me:
Code: Select all
root@moon:~# pkg set-publisher -g http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release solaris
while it's working this prints output like:
Code: Select all
