Using VMWare Workstation on a Centos 5.3 host I have a freshly installed version of Open Solaris (OS) 2008.11 running as a virtual guest with a bridged network. I have manually configured OS to use a static IP on my LAN and have entered two DNS server addresses.
Also on the host I run a Windows XP guest which uses dhcp on a bridged network from the host. The Windows guest works fine, but OS doesn't:. I can get no access to the external internet (but I can communicate between the OS host and the rest of my *NIX hosts). I can ping specific external IP addresses but I'm not getting name resolution from the external DNS servers. If I change back to dhcp I can get the external world, but I want the static IP so I can use my normal methods of ssh to communicate between all my *NIX hosts. Any ideas? Is there any way to get dhcp for DNS while retaining the static IP? Thanks for any help. -Tom Tom Browder Niceville, Florida USA _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
