Hello,
Can someone please tell me how to set up VPC on my laptop so that the Vista
host which is on 192.168.0.x can easily network with the XP guest which is on
10.0.0.x.
This needs to work in standalone mode and when connected to my work LAN. I
want DHCP as well....
I have tried setting up a loopback device on the host and configuring it as
10.0.0.1, then configuring the guest to use the loopback device and setting
its ip to be 10.0.0.2. Of course, this works fine standalone and does not
interfere with the office LAN.
To get dhcp working, I can set up a dhcp server on the guest, and that will
work with the host loopback getting an ip.
However, I want to set the guest to dhcp and have it pick up an ipaddress,
which suggests that the dhcp server should be on the host. This would
conflict with my office Lan's dhcp server.
Any thoughts on how I can have my guest remain on 10.0.0.x with DHCP but not
interfere with the office lan.
Note that the dhcp server I am using is tftpd32 which cannot(to my
knowledge) 'bind' to the loopback device.
All constructive help welcome.

The easiest option would be to use ICS, but that won't work if the host
is using 192.168.0.0/24 .
Your bet bet is probably third party NAT software like wingate

Thats a drag as it is easy to do in vmware server - you dont even need a
loopback device, just select 'host only' as the network type on the guest.
I would rather stay with VPC for now, anyone else have any thoughts?
