I'm going to make a virtual setup with VM server. This is the scenario.
Host OS: Win XP SP2 (portable with one network-adapter)
Guest OS: Win2003 (srv-qa)
Tasks for OS:
\- DCHP
\- DNS
\- TFTP Boot Server
\- IIS
10-15 clients (must be able to connect to the internet)
This setup must be on a separate network than the normal network, which means either routing (RAS with W2003) or perhaps NAT from the VM-setup instead of using a router that NAT's the internal network.
I have tried to use NAT on the VM-networkadapter. This worked fine, I can connect to the internet from the internal network through the HOST-system. But I'm afraid that the DCHP-service will broadcast addresses on the external net (Host-system network) which is very bad!! (I don't dare to try :-| )
If You get what I'm trying to write - do You think this is possible? (I think I might run into trouble with only one adapter)
