virtualbox.org

Here is the setup:

Host OS: Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop Edition with VirtualBox 1.6.4 installed. It has 2 network cards. One will be for a Static External IP address (I want to be able to point a www address at this box), the other is for the Internal Network (DHCP).

Guests: One Vista machine and one Windows Server 2008.

What I want:

I want the Vista machine to have a Static External address (hey, I have 5 static ones through my ISP, so why not?), so I can point a www address at it. I also want both the Internal Network NICs (One per machine) to be a Bridged connection so that they can do PPTP VPNing.

What is the best way of going about this?

Thanks,
Douglas

Set up bridging on the external interface and give the host and two guest OSes addresses on their interfaces on this bridge.

Okay, I think I understand

Basically you have eth0 (external) with br0 creating a bridge to that. However, I am a little confused as to what I need to create for the host OS, I would guess create a couple TAP interfaces for the Guest OSs?

Section 6 of the User Manual is what you want. 6.7 goes into details of the steps for various Linux flavours.
