Server on Mac, client in Windows on Fusion - no network to connect

[SiggeStark]

Can anybody help me please:

I need to be able to run a server on Mac OS X and the client in a virtual Windows machine - this works fine when I am on a network since I just can connect to the Mac from my virtual Windows Machine using NAT or bridged network, but quite often I don't have a network available, so I need to be able to set up the network to work between these two environments without a network;

Would it be possible?

How would I set up my network settings?

I would really appreciate your help here!

Yes, this is precisely what host-only networking is for. Choose that instead of NAT/bridged.

That is good to hear etung, but could you please explain to me how I would set up network settings in order to get this configuration working?

Do I use the same IP-adress on both Mac and Windows? What IP do I set up as a router?

I am sorry, I am a bit clueless here...

do not assign Static Ip select assign IP address By Dhcp Fusion have it's own DHCP server to assign IP address to your Guest OS

Maddymac,

I have done as you told me (host only network and dhcp), and I have received an IP-adress (172.16.13.128) - but I can not connect to the server on my Mac. If I enter the IP-adress of the hosting mac (10.3.2.39), it will not be found since it is not in the same IP-range as Windows on Fusion. Do you know what adress I should enter?
