Virtual Machines on LAN
« on: May 04, 2009, 02:18:18 AM »
I would like to have my 2 virtual machines and this one on LAN. One has Ubuntu and other has Windows XP. This has Windows XP. How can this be done?

Thanks

    Yes, generally.  I've used Virtual PC and VirtualBox and both allow clients to acce4ss the network alongside the host OS

    Configure all the network devices (real and virtual) to be on the same IP range (or at least visible to each other via subnet masks).  I assume you wish to be able to transfer files via "Network Neighbourhood" etc.  Make sure they're configured to use the same workgroup therefore.

    Hope these pointers will help you to Google your way out of trouble.  ;)

    You mean like this computer on 192.168.1.4, VPC1 on 192.168.1.5, VPC2 on 192.168.1.6?
