I had a similar problem that I think might be caused by a routing issue with newer versions of OpenSolaris inside older versions of VirtualBox and maybe he's having the same problem because he's running OpenSolaris inside virtualbox? I was installing a zone in OpenSolaris build 129 running inside virtualbox 3.0.4 on top of OpenSolaris 2009.06 snv_111b. The funny thing here is that my OpenSolaris 2009.06 host box is in a datacenter and has a full 100mb/s connection out to the internet, but my build 129 guest was having problems with downloading IPS packages even though there's not all that much network activity on the host. Here's the output from installing a zone (which of course, downloads packages from IPS which to me seems kind of unnecessary IMO since the minimal packages the zone needs should already be there in my base system install, right?): # zoneadm -z dhcpzone install A ZFS file system has been created for this zone.
