The issue is seen on a host running OpenSolaris build 79a. {{{ manoj@mowgli:~$ uname -a SunOS mowgli 5.11 snv_79a i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris }}} VirtualBox version: VirtualBox-opensolaris-x86-1.5.51-r28414-beta1 ---- '''Details''' I have two Virtual Machines - one running OpenSolaris build 84 another running CentOS 4.4. I set up NAT and InternalNetwork on both the VMs. InternalNetwork is configured with static IPs. But one VM is unable to reach the other. Here's what I did. {{{ manoj@mowgli:/vm/Machines/osol$ VBoxManage modifyvm osol -nic2 intnet VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 1.5.51 (C) 2005-2008 innotek GmbH All rights reserved. manoj@mowgli:/vm/Machines/osol$ VBoxManage modifyvm osol -intnet2 intnet VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 1.5.51 (C) 2005-2008 innotek GmbH All rights reserved. manoj@mowgli:/vm/Machines/osol$ VBoxManage modifyvm rhel -nic2 intnet VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 1.5.51 (C) 2005-2008 innotek GmbH All rights reserved. manoj@mowgli:/vm/Machines/osol$ VBoxManage modifyvm rhel -intnet2 intnet VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 1.5.51 (C) 2005-2008 innotek GmbH All rights reserved. }}} And here's how the network is configured on the VMs. '''centos 4.4''' {{{ [root@localhost ~]# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-42.EL #1 Sat Aug 12 09:17:58 CDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@localhost ~]# ifconfig eth1 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:5B:4B:43 inet addr:172.16.90.2 Bcast:172.16.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fe5b:4b43/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:41 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:50 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2624 (2.5 KiB) TX bytes:2268 (2.2 KiB) Interrupt:10 Base address:0xc060 [root@localhost ~]# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.0.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 172.16.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 default 172.16.255.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 [root@localhost ~]# ping 172.16.90.1 PING 172.16.90.1 (172.16.90.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
