What would you do if you add a new computer to your current network? What settings do you set for that machine? If you know the answer to that, you have the answer to your question.

Well, First of all, and correct me if I'm wrong, i thinks this is an "Open Forum" and you are not in the obligation of answering all questions...
... if you think that the question is stupid enough 4 you, just keep your spam 4 youself...

... I have setted up a just a few Servers in my life (Over 200), so maybe and just maybe i know hot 2 do this...

... If i decided 2 post this question is just 4 one reason... I've Tried all the posible combinations to set this Windows Server Out with no luck, hoping that a nice soul could point me in the right direction...

... If Any1 have a possible reason of why I cant connect my guest OS to my internal network and have the time to explain that 2 me, please do it...

... Thanks...

... Truly yours Federico Zorrilla.

Thanks for pointing out the broken link, I fixed it now.

As for your experience with servers and what not, I would expect that you would know this too. If you don't run a DHCP server on your network, you set the Guest OS with a static address, else it should get one from the DHCP (but it's still best to set a static address as it's a server, but you already knew this).

Also, for someone that is a bit more technical I would expect proper posts with proper grammer and no abbreviations. It's really hard to read if every line starts and ends with '...', writing to/too as 2, for as 4 and so on. This a a forum, there is no limit on characters you can use for your post like a text message on a mobile phone. Please, use full words.

If you doubt my knowledge, check how many people I helped here. I know my share about how stuff works. I study for it and already have lots of experience with this. I have a working setup without any problems.
