Cannot access machine on host-only network

[IanG]

I am running OS X 10.8.4 and Fusion 5.0.3.

I have two guests VMs running Windows 2008 R2. One of the Windows server is a domain controller and DNS server, while the other does not run any services.

Both VMs are configured with "Host-only" network adapter setting that are "Private to my mac". There are no problems communicating over the network between them.

I now have the need for one of the servers (the one that is not running any services) to connect to the internet, so I configured another network adapter but this time as NAT that is "Shared with my Mac".

I am able to get to the internet but now cannot get to the other windows server on my private network. If I temporarily disable the NAT adapter, then I can get to the other windows server on my private network.

What must I do so that I can get to both the internet and to the server on my private network?

Thanks in advance,

Ian

If someone can point me to an article that describes how to configure the network adapters under Fusion so that I can access both the internet and machines on a private LAN, I would greatly appreciate it.

Ian,

I think you could put all your VMs in NAT if you want them get internet. Perhaps it's impossible if you want your NAT VMs to communicate with your private (host-only) VMs.
