thanks for the reply

just the 2003 server VM connect to internet but clients (XP VMs) behind 2003 server VM so i can config to sharing internet to clients.

something like this. i want the virtual networking to behave like a real network with a server and clients, all clients connect to server, server connect to internet. i dont want server and clients connect to my laptop as NAT. i want to config server to share internet, active directory etc. as if in real networking environment

thanks

server 2003 VM
LAN 1 - Bridged
LAN 2 - NAT (192.168.0.1)

XP VM1 - NAT (192.168.0.2)

XP VM2 - NAT (192.168.0.3)

correct? what about virtual network editor? do i need to change anything there?

thanks

FINALLY!! got it working now

Guest 1 (server 2003) , LAN 1 set as Bridged, LAN 2 set as spare VNET2

then ICS enabled on LAN 1

Guest 2 (XP) LAN 1 set as VNET2, static IP, 192.168.0.2, gateway - 192.168.0.1

so Guest VM access internet via server 2003, not via router as Bridged

thanks
