Hello,

Does anyone have a solution for making Host networking with Windows 2003 server? I know in the manual says to "bridge" the virtual nic to the realnic in Windows. The issue is Windows 2003 doesn't have the "bridge" function.

NAT will not work for me (it works great on the server and my VM can get out to the internet) but I need many ports forwared (some already used on the host server).

Any help or hints would be great!

Thanks

Bryan

This is because the bridge does not use the IP settings that are already active for it's slave interfaces. When you bridge a machine, always do this from the console (access the machine physically).

Brytech:
The version of Server 2003 I use, that is Enterprise, can bridge connections. There was someone else here on the forums and he used a different version and that was not able to bridge. Please check your version supported features.

I need go to Console (KVM), make bridge, config bridge as slave connection (Local Area Network)

i need config connection, that each guest have own static IP.

Help me pleasy!

which version of server 2003 you use? datacenter does not provide "bridge" function.
standard and enterprise is ok

standard

Alienzzz, you indeed have to bridge the connections while you are physically at the machine (so in your case grab the keyboard and mouse connected to it from the KVM switch). Bridge the bunch, set the previous IP from the LAN adapter to the Bridge. Then, you can set the IP addresses as normal on the Guest systems.
