network over windows vista

Post by cdevil »

I´m just trying the virtualization. I installed virtualbox on my laptop with windows vista home premium. I want to know if I can simulate a small network, that is, create a vm (server) with windows server 2003, and create 3 vm's (workstations) with windows xp/server/any windows for having communication between them. Is this possible?? Recommendations?? I know that it requires a big ram and powerful processor but it'd be just a test. Thanks

This is perfectly possible. Situations like these are what virtualization is made for. Read the Manual so you know which networking options you can use and can't use.

Thanks for sharing this information.
You're not making much sense, you're hijacking this topic with a completely irrelevant question which can be found if you think a bit.
