yeah, it's easy to miss but damned obvious when you see it, like most
computer things :-)

We do sortta try to deal with everything in this group and even the
microsofties have learned to say 'maybe a participant can answer your
question' rather than 'rack off and ask elsewhere', but we must still keep
in mind the group's 'charter', too much OT stuff will degrade the group.

Super...

Thank you so much. As soon as I went into "create" on the virutal
network side, it was all there. Thank you so much. You solved a
simple problem that was frustrating the heck out of me.

I totally agree that this could have gone in the general server
category. After days of no one responding on that board, I figured I
would try here and with the fact I was installing SBS, I figured it may
help a little with background. But I understand how the two have
nothing to do with each other.

Thanks again!

Joe

Thanks for the reply, David.

I checked that out and that is checked in the NIC's properties.

Any other suggestions? It is a 3Com Etherlink XL 10/100 PCI TX NIC. I
was thinking it was a bad driver, but if XP Pro (the host) is OK with
it, I figured that would not be the problem.

Go into the Properties of the second nic and make sure that the
Virtual
Machine Network Services is checked on it.

I am running Virtual Server 2005 with one virtual network adapter
configured. It is configured as "external" and pointing to the NIC
I
have installed on the host computer. I recently added a second NIC
to
the computer in an effort to take advantage of the features in SBS.

The host operating system (XP Pro - no, this is not a production
environment ;) ) has the 2nd NIC up and running just fine.

When I go into add a second virtual network adapter, this second NIC
does not show up in the drop down. I made sure the virtual server
was
not running at the time I was trying to add it.

Any ideas? I am really consfused and can't find any write ups on
it.

Thanks,
