Any possible way to serve with NAT?

Arrrrrg - I've run out of static IP addresses!

Anyway, I have a Server 2003 VPC set up, but I had to use NAT, and it's
connecting fine for outgoing traffic. Is there any humanly possible way
to use forwarding or something on the host machine so I can serve a
website from the guest Server 2003 OS?

I didn't think it was possible, but I thought I'd at least throw this
out there and hope that some VPC guru has a workaround or something.

Yeah, that's what I kinda figured. Know any virtual/emulation products
that are?

Thanks!

It's not possible unfortunately. The NAT server in VPC would have to know
how to do 1to1 NAT and it's not that sophisticated.

I don't know of any, but my experience trying something like that is nil, I
use a hardware router to do NAT usually.

Thanks everyone for the replies!

Bill, I tried your idea, and after a couple hours of tweaking with
different settings, I actually did get it to work. It was a bit
convoluted, but it was all worth it after seeing my test page get
served :)

Glad to hear you got it going. It can be a bit tedious getting the
settings correct, and every version of NAT seems to do things a different
way!
