| | Host machine loses network configuration Hi all. I have installed Virtual Server 2005 and succesfully configured a Virtual Machine running Windows 2003 Server R2. Everything goes fine till I setup the network on the Virtual Machine. If I configure a Virtual Network to share the Host physical NIC Card, I lose networking functionality in the Host machine, not being able to remotelly control it from the administration console. The virtual network is configured to use a network adapter in the physical computer. The MAC Address is configured as Dynamic. Any Ideas will be appreciated. |

I have exactly the same problem as described above, once I setup the virtual network controller to connect to the physical network controller, the host server looses all network connectivity. As far as I know my drivers are up to date... Posted via http://www.VirtualServerFaq.com - Brought to you by Business Information Technology Shop - http://www.bitshop.com |

| | RE: Host machine loses network configuration We have had the same problem with a Dell Poweredge 2950 host for the past 3 or 4 months. It is installed with Windows 2003 R2 and acts solely as an MS Virtual Server Platform, with VS2005 R2 Enterprise installed. The host is connected to our school network using the 2 onboard Broadcom NetExtremeII NICs, 1 of which (NIC#1) is connected into the virtual server system. Both NICs have static addresses at this time, though the problem initially started when NIC#2 had a DHCP controlled address. With a restart of the host server both NICs function correctly and as expected, however when I turn on the virtual servers (4x Windows 2003 R2 servers) NIC#1 loses all connection, as far as the host is concerned. The host will refuse to see or contact the network, as will the network fail to contact the hosts IP address on that NIC. The host will talk on the other NIC but not as a named thing, only via the IP address, all domain related traffic demands use of NIC#1, thus the server when used cannot be used with a domain account only the local one. The guests function faultlessly and will talk to the rest of our school domain but the host platform refuses to do so throwing up ID 1053 errors by the hundreds. Having consulted with Dell I have ruled out hardware as an issue, whilst replaced cables and alternate ports on the network switch have ruled out network related issues. I read on another forum that the problem may be related to IPMI on the Broadcom controller, but having now turned off IPMI with no success I am at a loss as to how to proceed. If anyone has any suggestions they will be gratefully accepted.
