How to share a host folder with other VMs on the Internal Nw

Hi Experts,

I need your help in achieving the below scenario in my dev environment.

In My network, I have a server 2003 PC which has 'Routing and Remote Access role' in it. This server has two N/W adapters (1. Internal Network 2. NAT). In the VM settings, I have added a host drive as a shared folder to this server.

The other VMs (win7/Server 2008) have only one adapter which are to connect to the same Internal Network and the default gateway for these VMs are set to the IP address of above server 2003 PC. {My aim was to redirect the internet browsing requests through the above server}.

Now I would like to share the 'shared folder from host drive of server 2003' with other VMs. Is is possible? if yes, please advise.

Please let me know in case you require any additional information from my end.

Thanks,
Santosh

I can't see what that has to do with Virtualbox. How you go about it is a pure Windows networking question. The fact that you are using virtual machines and virtual networks does not change how networking operates. The config of the RRAS server will be exactly the same as it would be with physical machines and physical network switches.
Are all the vms on the internal network using the RRAS router as their gateway? Is the RRAS router configured as a NAT router? Can the RRAS router itself reach the Internet?
