Looks like I have more problems than I thought. Hopefully more details will help. First of all my DHCP server isnt authorizing, and the option to authorize it does not exist in the action menu. So I am not going to use the Server 2008 DHCP for now until i can figure that out.
For now all I would like to do get the correct setup on the VMs so they will work together once I can figure out Server 2008.
So I have both the Server 2008 and windows 7 VM set to NAT
Server 2008 has a static IP of 192.168.1.2 which is the same as the DNS.
Windows 7 has dynamic IP.
Do I leave the VMware Network adaptor settings as they are from my host machine? It has IP of 192.168.227.X. Does this mean my Server 2008 static IP has to be 192.168.227.X?
