Hi

I've setup a guest Windows Server 2003 on my XP Home server. The XP home server deals with the houses internet sharing accross our network and I wanted WS2003 to run websites. However i'm having trouble with the networking. If i setup the network adapter in winserv 2003 as a NAT the guest OS can access the internet but IIS can't be accessed from outside as it doesn't seem to have a 192.168.xx.xx ip. Just a 194.168.xx.xx ip. So i tried Host-only adapter which allows me to access the site from its 192.168.xx.xx address from the XP machine but I cannot access the internet from winserv2003 guest OS. I hope that makes sense.

Also when i do have access to its 192.168.xx.xx address I cant access it from other pc's on the network, only the host pc running xp.

You might benefit from reading the Manual, Bridge networking for example.

As vbox4me2 say bridged or if you can not do it any other way than host-only, add a second adapter in the guest settings and set it to NAT.
