IP Address for the virtual machine

Message:

I setup my virtual machines and installed Windows Server 2003 on one and
Windows XP Prof on the other one. Each guest machine boots and work normally.
I need to setup static IP address for the Server 2003 so I can run AD and
DNS. I am trying to setup virtual environment so I can study for my MCSE.
How can I do that and what about the XP, my host is Windows Vista Business.
Any feed back I really appreciate it.

You'd give them static IPs the same way you would with a real

probably going to need to have them on a different subnet than the
host PC...ideally, you could use the "local only" networking option
and isolate the DC and XP from your host to prevent them from
interfering with the host network environment.

Put the server in the Local Only virtual network and give it a static IP
in its own IP subnet. Run dcpromo and allow it to set up DNS for you.

When that is all done, put the XP vm in the same network. You can give it
a static IP in the same subnet as the server, or you can configure and
activate DHCP on the server an let the client get its network config from
DHCP. Remember that all AD clients (and the server itself) should use the
DC's LAN IP address for DNS.

The domain machines will not have access to the host, the physical
network or the Internet.

Bill Grant and Steve Jani.
Thank you both for the reply and taking care of this for me. I isolated the
Server 2003 and the XP machine by using the local only.
My host machine has an IP address of 192.168, should i stick with range or
should I use a totally different class, like using the 10.0 or the 172.16?

It doesn't really matter which set of private addresses you use. You can
stay with 192.168 , but use a different subnet from the host. This makes it
easier if you later want to route between the virtual and physical networks.

My physical network uses 192.168.0.0/24, and my domain in Local Only
uses 192.168.31.0/24 . If you are not familiar with the slash notation, /24
indicates a 24-bit subnet or 255.255.255.0 .

Thanks everyone for the replies regarding this. I am running all the machines
now without any probelm. I got two Windows Server 2003 and two XP machine in
AD. I installed and configured my DNS server first then I ran the AD (
Dcpromo). I got a question now and would like to keep all my questions under
this thread. How can I have multiple hard drives for each virtual machine.
For example the Server 2003 has a hard drive C: and I would like to to add
another hard drive to the same virtual machine so I can have another drive D
and so, is this possible?

Roughly just like you would with a real computer.
1. create a new VHD
2. shutdown the vm and attach the vhd to it
3. boot up windows, set up the new hard drive in computer management
and format
