ISA Server (in a VM) can also be used to do this. Alternatively giving each VM two NICs (one "Shared" and one "Private") may work. You will have to configure each VM that has a "shared" NIC not to register in DNS

It is dual homed - one NIC bound to the hardware and therefore on the 'real' LAN (the 'public' NIC), and the other on a VM-only network (the 'private' NIC). I have my test VMs route out through the router VM which isn't part of the test domain. It truly acts as a router / firewall. I have often used Server 2003's RRAS for this, but I recently switched to Vyatta VC5 (http://www.vyatta.org/downloads) so that I can have multiple LAN ip addresses bound to the router's public NIC and forward the same port on different ip addresses to different machines on the test network. (Currently playing with Exchange 2003 to 2010 migration scenarios where I keep the 2003 server alive for a period of time.)

The teacher is teaching server 2008 and wants to have each student set up a domain controller and client workstation. We set up the server and client as guests, configuring each to use Shared NAT networking. Problem is the two guests can?t talk to each other. I see in the help that this is expected, but I?m wondering if anyone knows how to allow the guests to talk to each other, other than using Private? networking. With private, they don?t have access to the internet, which they also need.
