You are right Solaris 10 does not have vnic so the only way I can get network access for my guest is to follow the instruction which I got from "VirtualBox v1.6 on Solaris 10 5/08 AMD64 with tap" http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=6748&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=tap0 on how to get network access for the guest o/s. It seems to work (unless I have got it complete wrong!).
Anyway, I think I need to forget the whole idea: 1) I think the network side of things causes the crash problems. It may work better in OpenSolaris, since I switch off the network and I got Oracle up and running. I my try it on my desktop which I have OpenSolaris with Windows XP as a guest after I have done a backup!! 2) The 2G limit of memory in VirtualBox makes things slow. 3) VirtualBox only runs on one core (I have a 2 x Intel Xeon quads) so again things are slow for Windows & Oracle.
