Duplicate IP Addresses in Windows Guest environment

[pmullen]

I am new to VB. I used Parallels in my Enterprise installation the past two years. I had the same issue with Parallels and knew how to fix it. So far, I have not seen the solution in VB. I am assuming that VB is setting the same MAC address in each installation like Parallels did. How do I clear this so it will generate a different MAC address for each machine.

Thank you for your time.

Look at the Guest network adapter settings, thats where you set a fixed address of use dhcp.

Thank you. I saw that. I assume I want no DHCP and no address as we have a DHCP server on our network to assign IP addresses. I did clear these values on two machines and still had the conflict.

Then your lan dhcp is issuing the same address to the Host/Guests because it see's your Host and VM's as one machine instead of different machines or your lan connection is limited to one ip address.

OK. I will look into that. This is the third year we have run a Windows guest OS with an OS X host and other than Parallels configuring itself with the same MAC address on each machine, we had no issues. VB is the only change. Thanks.

Look into using NAT with VBox, you won't have this problem then.

[pmullen]

Thanks. And we did use NAT before. Is that easy to see in the adapter settings? Thanks!!!

Looks like we are golden. I have four all logged in. No issues. Thank you for your quick response to this question. I have 105 to set up. I am liking what I see so far with VB.
