VMWare 1.06, Solaris 10, XP host, Solaris image cannot "see" the internet

Asked by DalTXColtsFan in Sun Solaris, Unix Setup, VMware

Greetings experts,

As a bonafide, certified Unix rookie, I downloaded the freeware VMWare 1.06 and installed it (on my Windows XP Professional Dell Laptop), downloaded the freeware ISO for Solaris 10, created a Solaris 10 virtual machine, attached the ISO, and installed the Solaris OS.  I chose the Java Desktop environment (I didn't know anything about either option so I just chose the first one on the list).

One of the many setup options I chose was to use NAT for networking (sharing the hosts's IP address).  Also, during the Solaris OS installation there was a screen that said "Network Connectivity.  Select the network option for this system:  Networked or Non-Networked."  On this screen, for some reason, every time I chose Networked, the installation process hung on the "calculating size requirements" step, so I was forced to choose Non-Networked.  It could be just a coincidence but I wanted to get the thing installed!

Anyway, here's the problem I'm having:  From inside the Java Desktop Environment, when I launch the Firefox browser or the Mozilla browser it can't connect to the internet.  The host (my laptop) obviously can.

Suggestions?

Appreciated!
