    What am I missing? Why can't you set the machine static?

    The DHCP ip address is being handed out by your local network or by the ISP?

    Why are you assigning 3 ips to one LAN adapter?

    The idea behind VMware is for each machine to be on it's own.

    So You have the machine running VMWare

    Let's call this machine TheHost

    TheHost gets 192.168.1.1 internally and gets 1.2.3.4 Externally for the world to hit.

    TheHost2 gets 192.168.1.2
    TheHost3 gets 192.168.1.3
    TheHost4 gets 192.168.1.4

    You configure those in windows by right clicking network places or in linux modify /etc/network/interfaces/

    TheHosts adapter does not change.

    A Virtual VMWare adapter is installed on the 172.16.x.x network to talk between machines.

    Now you can setup routing via firewall (port forward, redirect etc)

    For Port 80 (www) to forward to 192.168.1.2
    Port 25 (mail) to forward to 192.168.1.3

    is this making sense?

    hi

    i asked my isp to assign me 3 ips so i can run 1 windows & 2 virtual machines

    and i goto network> lan1 > assigned 2 static ips

    now on vmware i tired to give the 3rd ip to vmware machine but it dont take it.

    as for port forwarding dont he forward all 3 ips port to the vmware ?

    measn if i use port forwarding then i dont get any option to set that if request from ip#3 then forword it to x vmware .

    can i use analogx.com port forwarder ?

    thanks
