| 99565 | 2002-11-19 01:34:00 | Hi Does anyone know if its possible to have 2 virtual machines (eg. Windows 2000 server, and Windows 2000 professional) on a single host PC, and have them networked so they can communicate with each other, but not the hosts physical network ? |

| 99566 | 2002-11-19 02:52:00 | A good question :D Why don't you try it? I suspect it would be fairly slow. I suppose that both would be running as tasks under VMWare, so it "might" work. But is VMWare a task switcher or a multi-processing monitor? There is a difference. In a Linux machine, a server can be used by a client running on the same machine. No problem. But Linux is a multi-processing OS. |

| 99568 | 2002-11-19 04:19:00 | Yes you can I have it set up at work you mainly need about 500MB + of RAM and 5GB spare space |

| 99569 | 2002-11-19 06:30:00 | Yes it's possible, but to run W2k server and W2k pro and whatever other OS you're running as host, you're gonna have to have a pretty grunty machine. Mike. |

| 99570 | 2002-11-19 20:23:00 | Marty - How have you got the network adapter on each virtual machine configured? As far as grunty machines go, Ive only got a pIII 866 with 512 mb ram, 192mb for server, 128 for pro, and 192 for host .. and about a 1.5 gb page file. |
