Thanks James. I added the VMs to my /etc/hosts file and my dhcpd.conf file, and the same thing is happening. I think the dhcp was working fine before, but VCL seems to be getting confused between what the public IP address is and what the private one is. Here is a snippet from the logs:

End result is that it asks me to RDP to the private address, which of course is impossible. If I RDP to the 134.154.119.175, I can login just fine. I just need VCL to present that IP address to me instead of the private one. Any ideas on this?
