having standalone host with virtual OS-es

Post by bongo »

I have a PC that should work standalone without being attached to a network..

Main OS is OpenSuse (11.3), and I have virtual OpenSuse and Win xp..
but, they can ping and see each other only when a machine is attached to a adsl router, but without it, it cannot be seen...

how could I make to be visible when disconnected?

regards
