2 windows guests (MS Server 2003 and XP)

Post by dunkapunk »

Hello!

I have a problem when trying to set up a test network on 2 windows guests.
If I choose NAT settings, I am able to connect to the internet on both guests, but not able to establish contact between them.

If I choose Bridge and set the network card to DHCP I get ip from my server, but I want to use static IP in the 10.0.2.x segment, and therefore that does not work.

If I choose Internal network I get contact between the guests, but then I get no internet.

Any tips?

The easiest way is to add two virtual NICs to each guest: one internal and one NAT. The VMs will use the Internal to talk to each other and the NAT NIC to go to the Internet.
