Virtual Server 2005 & Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) using Wire

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:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
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 Namewhich 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

That's a really long and detailed post. Too bad it's not posted in a forum
that has anything to do with home networking.

Hi, I'm writing an application that needs to know if an Internet connection is available. Basically, I want to have something similar to what a lot of email clients have, where the app can work either in "online" or "offline" mode (it keeps a cache of downloaded info, so it can work without a connection if needed). The basic problem is this: it downloads info (RSS feeds) from a variety of sources. Any one (or more) of these could...

A programmer developed an AMP (Apache/MySQL/PHP) application for me. When he was done, he sent me the PHP files and the MySQL dump file. Now, when I connect to the application on my LAN using http://192.168.1.106/~mlh/credifree/index.php the AMP app still thinks the data resides somewhere else. It runs fine - as long as I leave my LAN's external internet connection up. But if I unplug my LAN from the world, my app locks up. Before I...

Hi We have a front end/back end type access app. We would like to upsize the app to sql server but can not re-write the whole app immediately. Is it feasible to just upsize the backend (data part) only to sql server using upsizing wizard without any drastic effect on the performance of the front end access app (which would link to the tables on the sql server after upsizing)? Thanks

Alright, folks, here's the deal... I'm working on migrating a classic ASP website to an ASP.NET codebase. At the heart of the site is a MySQL database. To make sure an "in-process" program doesn't screw up the live site, I run a local IIS webserver on my XP Pro (AMD XP 2500+, 512MB DDR RAM) machine, which resides behind an XP ICS gateway on my LAN. I also have a MySQL server set up locally for development purposes.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
