Vista - How to create a virtual lan

Hey guys,

I am using virtual PC 2007 on a Windows XP machine.

The XP machine has one network adapter. Let's assume the host IP is
192.168.1.1

I want to create two virtual pc's running windows server 2008. I will set
the first server IP to 10.10.1.1 and the second server IP to 10.10.1.2

I want the two servers to be able to see each other on their subnet.

How do I do this?

Thanks,
Larry

Hey,

one way would be setting network settings on both VPCs to local only,
in this way both VPCs will see each other ...

For each of the two guests in the Settings from the VPC console,
enable one NIC and set it to "Local Only".
Then after starting up each guest inside the guest itself set the
network card TCP/IP properties to a fixed address (use the ones above
for instance).
Now the two guests will be able to communicate with each other but not
to the host or to the physical network or the Internet.

You would need to set up a router between the 2 subnets...a small VM
running Linux, Windows Server with RRAS, etc.
VPC does not offer any virtual routing/virtual LAN capability on its
own.
