VM's can't ping

I've been trying to fix connectivity problems of VM's and still can't figure
it out. It could just be simple but nothing comes close to resolving it.
They all worked before. Here's my situation.

-I use virtual pc 2007 with 3 hosts; w2k3r2, windowsxp pro and windows2000
pro. Then installed Virtual Server SP1 hoping that it will resolve the
problem.
-They are connected to the LAN/internet using the host nic card. In the
office, i have a docking station and another nic attached to an external
internet for testing purposes. Both works before.
-All VM's are getting ip's from the router as dhcp, or from a dhcp server in
the office LAN. IP's and dns info acquired from DHCP are good.
-Problem: VM's cannot even ping the router or any other machine on the same
LAN.
What's done so far;
-unistall and reinstall virtual pc 2007. no go
-remove the nic card from the virtual machine device manager. after reboot
it reinstalls the nic card again. got an ip from dhcp but still no go.
-tried using Shared Networking NAT adapter and that works. other adaptes not
working.
-maybe my virtual pc is corrupted, so i installed virtual server sp1 and
that is also no go.
-the host has no problem connecting to the internet from office or from
home.

Sugesstions are welcome.

Thanks
Pete
