Solaris 9 in VMWare Workstation

807559Mar 20 2009 — edited Aug 27 2010
Hi,

I installed Solaris 9 inside VMWare Workstation 6.5, and I have everything working except audio and ethernet. I'm using the CDE. Whenever I type ifconfig -a no ethernet adapters show up, just lo0. I tried typing ifconfig hme0 up, just for the heck of it, but it said there was no such interface. A lot of the Linux commands (dhcpcd, pump, modprobe, etc.) I'm used to don't work in Solaris. My NIC is a Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet, and I've tried using NAT and bridging the connection, to no avail. I also typed dmesg, but nothing stood out to me in the output. I'd love to paste the output from that command here, but shared folders don't seem to be working in the guest, even though I installed VMWare tools.

Thanks for any help,

America's Sweetheart
