Setup: Windows 7 64 bit running vmware 7.1 Opensolaris 134 installed as guest in vm.
I got this installation working and networked by bridging the adapter with the laptops nic. That kind of connection means I need to have access to a router to be able to connect to the guest. So I want to create a host-only network as well. Something to switch to when away from a router. I understand from VMware manuals that this is possible. And have gone thru the steps to create the virtual adapter for it. So in the hardware listing there are 2 virtual network adaptors. However on the guest... ifconfig only sees loop-back and e1000g0 (which is the bridged adaptor). ,---- | lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> | mtu 8232 index 1 | inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 | e1000g0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> | mtu 1500 index 2 | inet 192.168.0.30 netmask fffffc00 broadcast 192.168.3.255 | ether 0:c:29:e3:61:4f `---- What do I need to do to help the OS discover the other adapter? It appears to be setup on the vmware side, and reports `connected' So it reports both `enabled' and `connected' and should be served an address from the vmware built dhcp server. However first it must be visible to the OS. I thought maybe ifconfigs' `plumb' tool could help but apparently I have to know the adapter name first or create it. I have only a foggy grasp of how to go at that... or maybe better put, no grasp. I'm hopeing someone here will have done something like this and be able to coach me a bit. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
