Vista - VPC 2K7 networking

I have install 3 virtual pc's, one of them being server 2003 to help with
mcse qualifications.

Now do I make it so the virtual pc's can only see each other? I have a
broadband router running dhcp and do not want that to conflict with the dhcp
of my virtual server 2003 install.

The docs that come with virtual pc 2007 are not clear on this.

Thanks

Got PC01(xp) pinging server01(2k3) but I cannot et it to pick up dhcp
address. Ant ideas?

If you want to set up a test network where you want to run DHCP and/or a
local DNS server your best bet is to run all vms in Local Only on their own
IP subnet.

Forget about Internet access or access to the host, just put your server
in Local Only, give it an IP address in its own IP subnet and proceed as you
would to set up a local network on its own switch. You can run DHCP and DNS,
even promote it to a DC without affecting the rest of your network.

If you later want to connect this network to the physical network and/or
the Internet you can use a vm (not the DC) as a NAT router with one NIC in
Local Only and one linked to the physical LAN.
