[SOLVED] How to create a workgroup of VM's?

[Bryan1998]

Can the XP that you are using as your router see the Internet?
Did you turn ICS on in this guest?

Yes it can see the internet. and yes ICS for that connection is turned on.

[Perryg]

Can you ping the xp router from one of the other guests?
(the internal ip address range)

[Bryan1998]

Yup, ping successful.

[Perryg]

Open a browser in the guest and put yahoo.com in the URL space. If this does not work then put 69.147.125.65 in the URL space. If it work using the ip address and not the friendly name you have DNS issues in the guests and need to fix that.

[Bryan1998]

Both of them don't work.

[Perryg]

Then you need to look at ICS and see why it is not working.

[Bryan1998]

What should i do?

Should DNS be empty?

[Perryg]

Set the DNS to be your home router (gateway). Any reachable DNS will work. I am providing a screen shot of a Win-ICS router and a Win guest. showing their settings.
As you can see the software router has (2) connections. One is set to NAT and the other set to the IP address range of the internal network I choose.
The guests IP address is also static (set in the address scheme of the Intnet) and the gateway is the Intnet address of the software router.
