2 1) Host, Guest and VBox version. Host: Windows 7 32 Bit Virtual Box: r88780 Guest: Solaris 10 2 P a g e

3 2) Check your current Host and add 3 rd Adapter to Host windows Check existing adapters and Internet / Tata Photon Network IP ================================================== Add one more Host Only Network Adapter to windows: From Virtual Box Manager click File -> Preferences Menu. 3 P a g e

4 Click add button to add 3 rd Host Only Network Adapter to windows as shown below. 3 rd Host Only Network Adapter is added as shown below. Verify from DOS prompt if the 3 rd Adapter is added. 4 P a g e

5 Now Let s Share the Tata Photon Network with 3 rd added Adapter. In Windows, Go to -> Control Panel->Network and Internet-> Network and Sharing Centre -> On Left hand side click on Change adapter settings. OR Start -> Run -> type ncpa.cpl -> OK Right click on Tata Indicom -> Click Properties as below Click on sharing tab and select the 3 rd network adapter from drop down as Highlighted below. Also select checkbox allow other network Click on OK above as shown above. 5 P a g e

6 As above it is asking to change the IP address for 3 rd Adapter i.e Once you click on Yes as shown above, you will see one more dialog box as below as Internet was ON, and then click OK. Verify the changed IP address for 3 rd adapter from DOS command prompt => ipconfig Now Disconnect the Tata photon and connect again. 3) Now let s start to configure to enable Internet in Guest Solaris. (a) Add 3 rd Network adapter to Guest Solaris VM and attach to Host-only Adapter as below. 6 P a g e

7 Click on your Solaris Guest VM machine and then click on network as below Change the options as per highlighted/shown below. (b) Start the Guest VM Solaris and login with putty to check the newly added Network interface (e1000g2) 7 P a g e

8 4) Configure New IP ( ) for Guest Solaris for 3 rd added network interface (e1000g2) dladm show-link e1000g0 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: e1000g0 e1000g1 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: e1000g1 e1000g2 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: e1000g2 dladm show-dev e1000g0 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full e1000g1 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full e1000g2 link: unknown speed: 0 Mbps duplex: half Note: Make sure while configuring the new IP address ( ) for interface e1000g2 address should be in the range of which was provided to us while sharing the Tata photon with 3rd adapter. Our New IP for Guest Solaris would be Execute below commands: dladm show-dev ifconfig e1000g2 plumb up ifconfig e1000g2 ifconfig e1000g netmask broadcast + up ifconfig e1000g2 8 P a g e

9 (a) Create a file for new interface (e1000g2) as below, so that IP persist the reboot. ls -ltr /etc/hostname.* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38 Oct 12 20:26 /etc/hostname.e1000g0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36 Oct 12 23:44 /etc/hostname.e1000g1 cat /etc/hostname.e1000g0 (This is existing interface file) netmask New ==== vi /etc/hostname.e1000g netmask cat /etc/hostname.e1000g netmask (b) Add the new IP details to /etc/host and name as oratata or (any name) cat /etc/hosts Internet host table ::1 localhost localhost orasolaris1 loghost oranet loghost oratata (c) Add the new net mask to /etc/netmasks file vi /etc/netmasks The netmasks file associates Internet Protocol (IP) address masks with IP network numbers. network-number netmask The term network-number refers to a number obtained from the Internet Network Information Center. Both the network-number and the netmasks are specified in "decimal dot" notation, e.g: P a g e

10 (d) Add the 3 rd Adapter IP as Default Gateway details to /etc/defaultrouter Follow any one =============== vi /etc/defaultrouter OR route -p add default add net default: gateway add persistent net default: gateway route -p show persistent: route add default (e) add the 3 rd Adapter IP as DNS server or your ISPs DNS server details to /etc/resolv.conf vi /etc/resolv.conf nameserver cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver nameserver (f) Add dns keyword after files keyword to /etc/nsswitch.conf cat /etc/nsswitch.conf grep hosts: "hosts:" and "services:" in this file are used only if the hosts: files vi /etc/nsswitch.conf. hosts: files dns. cat /etc/nsswitch.conf grep dns hosts: files dns (g) Shutdown the Guest VM Solaris and start again. init 0 10 P a g e

11 (h) Test DNS using dig, if website is responding with provided address/url. ping is alive dig ; <<>> DiG P3 <<>> ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 1800 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 6, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ; IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: IN A IN A IN A IN A IN A IN A ;; Query time: 93 msec ;; SERVER: ( ) ;; WHEN: Sun Oct 13 16:32: ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 128 nslookup Server: Address: Non-authoritative answer: Name: Address: Name: Address: Name: Address: Name: Address: Name: Address: Name: Address: ping is alive nslookup Server: Address: Non-authoritative answer: canonical name = fd-fp3.wg1.b.yahoo.com. fd-fp3.wg1.b.yahoo.com canonical name = ds-fp3.wg1.b.yahoo.com. ds-fp3.wg1.b.yahoo.com canonical name = ds-sg-fp3-lfb.wg1.b.yahoo.com. ds-sg-fp3-lfb.wg1.b.yahoo.com canonical name = ds-sg-fp3.wg1.b.yahoo.com.

13 REF ==== $ ping ping: unknown host The point here is that dig bypasses the host file and goes directly to the dns servers, while ping will obey the Name Service Switch settings as defined in /etc/nsswitch.conf. The solution is simply to edit the file and add the word dns to the line ipnodes: files ipnodes: files dns 13 P a g e
