Hi,
I've just downloaded VMware for Solaris Express, Developer Edition from the developers.sun.com site at: http://developers.sun.com/solaris/downloads/solexpdev/
I'm running it under VMware Server Console 1.0.3 on Windows XP.
After entering my hostname (ferrari-devx) during the sys config phase (after running sys-uncnonfig), an error briefly flashes on the screen before proceeding to the Time Zone step of the system configuration:
t_optmgt: System error: Cannot assign requested address
Then on reboot, I get the following errors:
Failed to plumb IPv4 interfaces(s); vmxnet0
Failed to plumb IPv6 interfaces(s); vmxnet0
Failed to configure IPv4 DHCP interface(s): vmxnet0

I have seen this similar thread (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=841&threadID=5163555), however, running
ifconfig -a plumb
doesn't do anything (it's unclear to me how he finally got it to work).
I've tried running in both the default NAT mode and now in Bridged mode.
Any pointers on how to proceed would be appreciated.
Regards,
Brian
