Hi Matthew, Question: Is server 2k8 the host os on the netbooks or is it a guest in a vm program in such as vm workstation? If it's a vm of server 2k8, then setup yor vm networking to be Host only.
By default it will have been nat, but if the server is using a vm and your connecting 2 machines with a crossover cable, then try using host. Hope that helps. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Matthew Campbell Sent: Friday, 26 March 2010 11:31 p.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: How do I get 2 Virtual machines to communicate? Please! help! Hello Simon. Thanks for your reply. THey are on the same IP range, I've set up the parent first, In short, I've done everything you've suggested but there is still no connectivity between the 2 machines. I am serious, I have ben trying to do this with 2 netbooks with a cross over cable connecting the 2 and I can't get them to connect either. What do you mean by making the child a member of the parent domain? Just so I'm clear. The documentation that I am using is the Microsoft textbooks that we were assigned not sure of the name off hand though. Thanks again for the suggestions. Matthew Campbell.
