Is this necessary, or why are you assuming this? Yes, I think this is necessary, unless the host is acting as a bridge and allows arp-request to pass from the real interface to the virtual. > >If you use the same subnet for host/guest and lan, the host has to do > >bridging of IP-Packets between the two interfaces, i have no idea how > >to do this on NT..... > > Do I understand you correctly that the approach of putting the guest VM into > a different subnet and creating a proxy route entry(?) to this net is > KNOWN/has been verified to work?
