Hi,

i am running Win xp with VPC 5.1 and I have installed Solaris 10 x86
(GA release) as a guest. Solaris is functioning correctly with the
exception of the network - i cannot access my corporate network via VPN
(wireless broadband) from the Solaris image. The setup is as follows;

On Solaris:

ip = 192.168.0.10
no default router specified

On XP

I have installed the MS Loopback adapter and it has an ip of
192.168.0.9 (a hint from another forum). My wireless router/modem has
an ip of 192.168.0.5 and is providing DHCP addresses in the range of
192.168.0.2-4 (which allows me to connect two PC's to the coporate
network. This all functions correctly.

When i make the connection via VPN to the coporate network my machine
gets a 10.x.x.x address, but i cannot make a connection from my Solaris
VPC guest - the network setting for the guest is currently set to the
loopback adapter (though i have tried all the other options at some
point).

At some point during the 'trial and error' process i could ping the
loopback adapter from Solaris, though only if i was not connected to
the coporate network and it was not consistant.

is it possbile for my Solaris guest to connect to the coporate network
and if so any advice posted would be gratefully received?

Thanks
Keers
