Setting up public IPs for each guest

Hey guys,

I ran into a problem setting up the network configuration for my little "test"-network.

I am owning a dedicated Windows Server with 3 IP Adresses. Sadly the provider doesnt allow Bridged Networking so I need to get everything done using NAT.

What I am aiming for is to have the 2 spare IPs setup for each Virtual Machine I am running (two Ubuntu machines).

The "ipconfig /all" Configuration of my windows server:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :

   Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet

   Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-19-99-DE-ED-09

   DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No

   Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes

   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 85.25.138.64(Preferred)

   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 85.25.251.198(Preferred)

   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255

   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 85.25.251.199(Preferred)

   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255

   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 85.25.138.1

   DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 85.25.128.10

                                       85.25.255.10

   NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled

I need to get a webserver (port 80) on all 3 IPs.

Hopefully someone is able to help me get the network started.

Greetings

Kevin

You cant do that with vmware-nat.
You may be able to do the required port forwardings with only one bridged network if you create a Linux or BSD firewall VM which can then do the port forwardings.

Hey continuum,

as I am completly new to networking do you have any "guides" or "tutorials" on how to setup such environments?
