Scenario:

I have a server with VMWare Server installed, I want to give the VM's internet access, but I don't want the VM's being able to interfere with the companys network. Im going to be setting up DC,s DNS, DHCP the works and sending that lot out on our exisiting network would, well you know...

how could one set this up?

Hi Oddjob, I totally forgot about the DMZ port on our Sonicwall, this should be suffciant to keep the two networks seperated...

Thanks a lot

except I have no spare public ip's left

,

Back to no DMZ;

Your saying that I can create a seperate network with DC,s, DNS, Trusts ISA etc and the only thing that will affect the hosts network will be DHCP packets, which I can disable

Providing that the virtual network is on a different ip range and is using different names?

if I use host only, there will be no internet access for the VM's?

care to explain how?

lol wesley, I know how to set the vm's to host only,

I was wondering how they would be able to access the internet in host only mode...

it doesn't matter now, my test platform includes ISA 2k6 so used that to seperate the two networks

ISA VM has two network cards one host only, one NAT. NAT is external, host only internal yadda yadda yadda you get the idea.

anyway it worked
