Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 Configuration

Hi All,
I'm very new to Virtual PC 2007 and need some kind help to guide me on such
a setup as mentioned below.

Components:

1) Host Server (Windows Server 2003 Standard R2) [Completed]
a. Network Adapter #1 is 10.1.1.20 (Virtual Network IP)
b. Network Adapter #2 is 192.168.2.10 (Internet connection)
c. Incidentally, this Host Server is running IIS 6.0 web server.

2) Installed MS Virtual PC 2007 [Completed]

3) Setup new Virtual Machine – Windows Server 2003 Ent SP2 [Completed]
a. Network Adapter #1 is 10.1.1.10 (localhost)
b. Installed MS Exchange 2003 Ent SP2 onto Virtual Machine [Completed]
c. Installed DNS, Active Directory onto Virtual Machine [Completed]


Requirement Scope:

A) Need to connect to both Host Server & Virtual Machine to communicate
with each other?

B) Need to setup an PC (10.1.1.40) via a Network Switch, to communicated
with Host Server (10.1.1.20) & Virtual Machine (10.1.1.10).

Any advise or guidance is greatly appreciated.

That should work OK. Make sure that you connect the NICs in the vms to
the virtual network linked to the 10.1.1.20 NIC.

The networking software can't tell whether the machine in a vm or not.
As long as the NICs are in the same network an the same IP subnet it should
all work. You could clear the Virtual Machine Network Services on the
192.168.2.10 NIC in the host (since the vms don't need to see it). I would
also disable Netbios over TCP/IP on this NIC to prevent browser problems on
the 10.1.1 network.
