Solaris10 networking through Airport

[hdbngr]

I see all kinds of answers for NAT vs Bridged vs Host-Only, but always for Windows users...

Me, Solaris 10 VM... Host is MacBook Pro with Airport wireless > Router > Internet

What do I do on a Solaris VM to talk to the internet? Do I config a "phsical port?" (I don't think so...)

I have tried All 3 options and cannot get out to the internet... Is Airport/Wireless just not gonna work?

Thanks

After starting with a new copy of the appliance and not changing any software, the networking works fine. I am running the VM in bridged mode, and set the VM up for DHCP with the following directions;

Hopefully you have decent network knowledge, it helps to understand what each step is doing for you.
