Thank you - i have this working wonderfully now. To recap: VM gets 2 nics - 1 for 10.x and a 2nd for 169.x Default gateway is set only on the 10.x nic RRAS is configured as NAT/firewall on the private network (169.x) On each client machine, default gateway is set to IP of the server that has the two nics. Works great. Thank you very much.

They are not bridged this way, but it works quite well. You can forward ports through the firewall for the physical machines that need to get access. Simple, cheap and fast.

Hi Bryan, If you mean 169.254.x.x then you're out of luck as that is an APIPA address and APIPA cannot be routed to other subnets, (which includes the Internet). See http://www.petri.co.il/whats_apipa.htm for more info. Regards, Andrew 2009/12/9 Bryan Garmon <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Today is one of those days where my brain is just not working well. I could use some help. I have a virtual 2003 AD test environment running under VMWare Workstation 7 including DNS,DHCP. Each virtual is configured to use vmware's bridged networking and I am using 169.x network for all of the virtual lab machines. It's bridged and not nat'd because I have several phyiscal machines that need to communicate with the virtuals. This works great except for 1 problem - none of the virtual machines have internet access. I have not configured any of the virtuals to have a default gateway. The host machine and the rest of my network is 10.x. How can i get the 169.x network to have internet access? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
