Multiple VMs with NAT

[mn_kthompson]

Hey I've got some weirdness going on. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this.

I'm try to run multiple VMs at once. I have a Windows XP machine and a Vista machines both with the guest additions installed. Networking is in NAT mode for both VMs.

According to the manual, one of them should get a 10.0.2.x address, and the other should get a 10.0.3.x address. However, what really happens is that both of them get the address 10.0.2.15. I have successful networking in both of the VMs, but not at the same time. Usually, only one of them can connect to the Internet.

Any thoughts?

The documentation has a LOT to be desired from what I've seen and experienced. I have two VM's running with XP SP 2 as well and they both get 10.0.2.x even though one is assigned NIC 0 and the other 1 or 2.

I ended up making my second a static IP of 10.0.2.16

If there are other solutions I would love to hear them.
