It depends on the OSes you have installed.  If you have client OSes,
like XP,you can use ICS (internet connection sharing).

You'll need to use both NICs, one will connect to vpcA and the other
the Internet. There should be a configuration wizard that pops up to
help you along.

One issue you might run into is IP addressing.  IIRC, ICS changes the
IP address on the ICS host.

   I am surprised that we haven't heard from Mark Rae! As Mark would (quite
rightly) say, the fact that they are virtual machines makes no difference.
How do you share an Internet connection to a second machine?

   The only difference with vms is that you do not have to install a second
physical NIC in the host and add a cable between that and the guest. You use
a virtual network instead.
