Hi
Scenario
1) Host - XP Laptop with internet connection using Sky Broadband Wireless
Router Netgear DG834GT
2) MS Virtual Server 2005 - I have deployed an XP MS Virtual Server 2005 to
act as a virtual machine
Problem
I am trying to share my Sky Broadband Wireless internet connection which
works on the host with the virtual server using Internet Connection Sharing
(ICS) and MS Loopback Adapter, however I get a page cannot be displayed error
on the virtual machine
Host Detail
1) Host IP Config
Note I had to change the IP Address on the Router to 192.168.0.x to
192.168.1.x because the loopback adapter needs 192.168.0.x
Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

Virtual Server Detail
1) Virtual Server IP
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : mshome.net
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.254
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
2) Internet Gateway Icon on virtual Server
I can see an Internet Gateway Icon - Wireless Network Connection on <Host
Computer Name> which is connected
3) I have created a Virtual Network Adapter pointing to the Physical
Loopback Adapter on the virtual server with the virtual DHCP server disabled
I can ping 192.168.0.1 from both the host and the virtual server, however I
cannot access the internet from the virtual machine - I get a connecting to
site 207.46.192.254 message in the bottom bar then a page cannot be displayed
error. Internet access on host is working
I am relatively new to networking so have missed a vital trick somewhere -
please can someone help me.
Thank you in advance
