Virtual PC networking questions

Hi folks
I need to set up 3 Virt. PC's. 1 - dns and domain controller. 2 others are
just server which will be later used for windows cluster installation.
It is testing setup.
I use company pc which has dedicated ip address and i try to avoid asking
and using 3 real ip addresses for my setup.
With that purpose in mind, I set up vm1, installed domain controller on it,
assigned ip:
10.1.1.1
subnet: 255.255.255.0
dns: 10.1.1.1
and used network setting 'shared networking on Virt. PC console.

vm2:
10.1.1.2
subnet: 255.255.255.0
dns: 10.1.1.1
and used network setting 'shared networking on Virt. PC console.

Vm1 and vm2 do not see each other. What should i change in this set up to
make it work and then being able to install 3rd vm?

Re: Virtual PC networking questions

No, you cannot use shared networking to do that. What you should do is
put all of the vms in Local Only.
