Test windows 2003 dhcp function on virutal network

[eddypc]

There are two VMWARE machine installed with win2003 server for testing on winXP host machine. One of the VMWARE machine (win2003 server) is enabled with DHCP function. But other VMWARE machine (win2003 server) won't obtain
IP from this DHCP and still use the VMWARE workstation software which provides the IP.

I want to test the win2003 as dhcp function on standalone virutal network. Can I do that on VMWARE WKS SOFTWARE? or Should I change to use Microsoft Virtual Server. Please advise

I don't have the workstation software sitting in front of me, so I can't answer that with any detail, I'm pretty sure that you CAN do it within VMware Workstation. That being said, before you look at MS virtual PC, I would look at VMware's FREE "VMware Server" product. It's more robust, and you can use your pre-existing disk files from your VMware workstation product with it. I will try to get back to you later when I AM sitting in front of a VMware Workstation client.
I hope that helps a little.

Hi paintballer! Thanks for your reply. I got it work now and I think I'm not familiar with vmware software's "virtual network settings" before. I tried many times and got all what I want now. Actually, I like to use VMware rather than MS virtual PC.
