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.
check DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf
cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
check/add default gateway in /etc/defaultrouter
check active gateway in "netstat -rn"
check subnet mask in /etc/netmasks
check IP/netmask in "ifconfig -a"
