Connecting Two Host PC's

I have two PC's (Hardware and Software specs below.)

Hardware Spec's
i7 quad core HT (8 Vcores) CPU
64gb of Ram
1 x 80Gb SSD - Boot Drive
2 x 500Gb SSD's - For VMs
1 x Nic

Software Spec's
Windows 7 Pro
Workstation 8

Currently the IP setup of the Vm's is that of 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254, using vmnet 7 and 8 depending if the VM's are clustered.

My home network uses a ADSL routers and also uses the IP addresses 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254 and all PCs in the house have static IPs from this range.

What I would like to do is connect these two PC's together so that the VM's running on each of them can communicate with each other e.g. 12 Vm's on PC1 and 12Vm's on PC2 all in the same domain but outside of the home network.
Also I want to allow the two PC's (hosts) to connect to the home network to allow for internet access and RDP sessions.

What is the best way to do this?

hi,

I think you can use a bridge configuration for your VM's and reserve IP address on your router.
