Hi All,
I am using Vmware Workstation 6.0.3 build-80004.
Guest OS: Solaris 10
I am getting request time out when i am trying to ping from XP ( cmd line) to Solaris VM
I have assigned IP 192.168.50.5 in Solaris VM ( Hostname: Tower1) and it is in UP status.
VM>Settings > Showing Ethernet as Bridged .
/etc/defaultrouter
Please help me to get this resolve.
You have added a default router of the guest itself ? (Or am I reading that wrong ?)
Pls check the below info
# more /etc/defaultrouter
192.168.50.5 Tower1
IN Xp network connections i can see VMnet1 and VMnet8 ( Vmware network adaptor))

The reason is quite simple: you've placed the VM in the 192.168.50.0/24 network, but the host machine is in the 172.20.3.0/24 network. To establish communication between these the default gateway (172.20.3.2) would have to know how to route between these.
Put the VM into the correct network and connections should work without problems.
I will post my response in few days..will check above workout provided by 'pludi' and will post the result soon.
