Re: Virtual Server 2005 R2 networking

Yes, I saw those instructions in the admin guide. Thanks again!

If you need to go the two NICs route it is work doing a few extra steps.
In the network properties of the NIC on the host which is used by the host,
clear the checkbox for Virtual Machine Network Services so that it will not
be offered as a option for vms. On the other NIC, clear all of the boxes
except VMNS so that the host can't see that NIC, only the vms can.

Yes, this box is on a corporate LAN in a hosting center. It's entirely
possible that the switch only allows one MAC address. That makes sense and
is
probably my problem. Thanks.

Yes, that should work. If you can see the physical NIC listed as on
option, the extra code should have been added to the NIC driver to handle
traffic for a vm. The vm should look just like another machine on the LAN
from a networking point of view (ie it will have its own MAC address and
its
own IP address).

There is one problem which can arise. Is the host on a corporate LAN?
Some switches will not allow multiple MAC addresses to use the same
switch
port. If that is the case you will need two NICs in the host, each
connected
to a different switch port (one for the host and one for the vm).

Hello,

I have VS2005R2 running on a Win2k3 Ent. box. I've create a single VM
that
it's network adapter is configured to use the External physical box's
adapter. It can't seem to contact anything, no ping, tracert, etc. What
could
be the issue? The host machine has no connectivity issues at all.

I'm sure I can solve this by using a second nic and creating virtual
network, etc. But is that the only way? Isn't a VM supposed to be able
to
use
the phsyical nic without creating the virtual network?

Thanks.
