[OpenIndiana-discuss] Exclusive IP zones under VMware

[Christopher X. Candreva]

Now that I've copied the zone into the new master zone running under VMware, 
I've run into a problem with IP networking.  I've set up the vnic, assigned 
the IP, and can ping/access the IP from the global zone. However I can't 
access that IP from the LAN. Oddly, the arp table in the external machine 
I'm pining from DOES have an entry with the correct MAC address.

The only solution I found in my searches was people who needed to put the 
interface on the global zone into permiscuous mode, however my is already in 
PROMSIC mode:


Is there anything different that needs to be done with exclusive IP 
networking in a VMware guest ?
