I am new to the virtual server world and I needing some help with Virtual
networks. When I set up a VN I use the Host NIC (no loopback adapter,
etc...) just a "normal" VN creation connected to the Host NIC.

Upon creating a VM and applying the VN to the newly created VM I can NOT get
any Internet connectivity. The host is a WinXP box with a Broadband
connection (using DHCP for broadband purposes) on the host box/NIC.

Is there a problem with the configured VN since the Host NIC is configured
for DHCP, and I am wanting to use a static non-routable IP for the VM??

No matter how I seem to play around with this, I cannot get internet
connectivity to the VM. Anyone think they can help me out on this?

Are you connecting the host NIC directly to the broadband connection?
If so - most service providers will only allow one computer (virtual or
otherwise) to be connected. You should get a broadband NAT router for
such a configuration (or use the loopback adapter and ICS).

Thaks Ben,

Ironically, I tried the loopback adapter initally and it was for these
reasons I sent out this email. I set up the loopback adapter, ICS, ICF, and
still I couldn't get internet connectivity to the newly created VM. I can
NOT ping the host from the VM either, but I contributed that to the ISP
network configuration.

Any other ideas/suggestions?? I have rather not have to go buy a router,
but if it is going to assist in my POC (Proof of Concept) then I guess I will
need to. In the mean time I'll look into the broadband NAT router as I feel
the loopback adpater setup I do have is configured correctly.

If you can think of any other ideas I am open for suggestions. Thanks again
Ben!!

Hi CG,

If you want to try setting up the loopback adapter again - can you post
the output of an 'ipconfig /all' on the physical computer and virtual
machine?

Hello Ben,

I am trying to get you the info you asked about and there may be a blaring
error, but I can't seem to notice right away so any help is very welcome.
As I look into this more I feel as though I am going to need to use of a
Broadband router here.

Your loopback configuration is conflicting. Both host and guest have the
same IP. Make them different and the host should ping/see the guest (and
vice versa) so that you can try the Internet Connection Sharing technique in
do***entation (for NAT-style access).

You need to find out from your broadband provider whether the network access
is fixed to a certain MAC or not. I know that in some regions of the
country, you literally cannot get broadband unless a certain NIC (with a
certain MAC) is talking to the cable/DSL modem. This obviously foils your
attempt to directly connect with the virtual NIC since it is a different
MAC.
