Hey there, The Linux distro I use is Pardus (check it out here: http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng/). So, I downloaded VirtualBox 2.0.6 (the proprietary version) and installed it. Then I created a VM and did a plain install of as it so happened to be Sun Solaris 10 10/08. Then I just opened Firefox in Solaris, typed a URL and much to my surprise the web page opened (I believe the last version of VirtualBox I tried before 2.0.6 was 1.6 and web surfing absolutely did not work if the laptop was connected via the wireless). So please note I did NOT do any bridging of any kind. The VM I created uses the VirtualBox default, NAT. I once tried (running VB 1.5) to create a bridge to my wireless but never got that to work. Nonetheless, you are not the only one who wishes to bridge over wireless. I just googled for "virtualbox linux bridging wireless" (without the quotes) and there are plenty of pages describing how to achieve this. Unfortunately I just discovered Open Solaris just a few weeks ago and I simply do not have the knowledge of Solaris to be able to convert one of those documents to Open Solaris. Perhaps one of the more knowledgeables here would want to make such an effort? Regards. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
