Usually when I create a new Linux VM I enable 2 adapters in the virtual machine, the first one connected to NAT (for the internet), and the second to the Host Only Network adapter so I can ssh to the VM. In the OS I usually leave them both as dhcp.
I'm attempting to do the same configuration with solaris 11, yet I cannot ping or ssh to the VM from the host (windows 8 btw). First I tried using the Automatic profile configuration, and enabling the net1 interface (the one connected to host only network adapter), but it hangs and spits this error out:
Then I tried using the DefaultFixed profile and manually configure both interfaces but in that case I couldn't even ping google nor the VM from the host.
I don't know what I'm missing here. I googled but found nothing helpful. I found this guy tutorial, yet it seems for him everything went out of the box when he installed solaris and also he is using a bridge adapter instead of the NAT.
Cheers,
