Network setup for Solaris 10 08/11 in VMWare Wkstn 8
Hi,
During installtaion of Solaris 10 in VMWare session, I forgot to select "Networked" radio button. Now I don't have the Network for Internet use.
I am running my guest OS (Solaris 10) on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
In VMWare the Ethernet settings is set for NAT.
I have also installed and VMWare Tools for Solaris and ran the binary. I read in somewhere that it will install"vmxnet0" driver, which I do not see anywhere.
ifconfig -a shows
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP, LOOPBACK, RUNNING, MULTICAST, IPv4, VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
I have added Solaris as nodename in /etc/nodename file.
I have also added Solaris as hostname in hostname.vmxnet0 file in /etc
I have touched dhcp.vmxnet0 in /etc
Still no success. Please advice step-by-step how I can set Network interface.

VMware
VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

By the way, I actually did sys-unconfig, prior to your response posting.
Then I followed your instructions.
I am able to ping the network now.
Much appreciated for your prompt response.
