I disabled firewall, created a network bridge on the host(MAC Bridge Miniport) 169.254.193.127 host Win-7 169.254.162.162, gues Sol-10 169.254.163.163, mask 255.255.0.0, OS's are 64 bits. In VBox network is set to Bridged. I google many many articles, no aswers. After this connection is made I whant to install Oracle 11g on Solaris gues. This will require file sharing. Badly need help. Thank you in advance.

Did you try to ping ? – Khaleel – 2012-06-22T06:27:42.860
Thank you, I have made the change to Host-Only -- no cable connected. now I can ping the gues but the gues can't ping the host. I am using VBox 4.1.16 r78094. I created the share acording to the "article". I see on Solaris gues network is Disconnected, I dont quite know how to resolve. – Mike-M – 2012-06-22T06:54:25.767
Are you able to ping between guests? Are you able to ping from host to guest and guest to host? – Khaleel – 2012-06-22T06:59:40.760
I only have one guest and it can't ping the host, but the host can ping the guest. – Mike-M – 2012-06-22T15:18:10.160
I got it to work but with VMWare Player. Win-7 as rigourus firewall settings, I disabled them (they come back after reboot) and I used this document http://rednectar.net/2011/07/20/vmware-interfaces-tutorial/ - and made a host only guest. BTW a goo document. Thank you verry mutch for the reply. HOO YEA - the guest still cant ping the host but i works - I also had to configure a DSA key for the user to ssh to the box
