Can"t see virtual computer through network

Message:

At first everything was ok, I linked my PC's Ethernet adapter to my Virtual
Server computer and I could use its services (Sharepoint, SQL, etc...) and
browse the Internet from both.

Now that I have just bought a router, I can't get my Virtual Server PC to
connect to the Internet nor provide my real PC with services.

The router doesn't give an IP to my Virtual Server Computer (though it has
my wireless adapter as its networking device) as it gives my real pc.

I also tried Loopback adapter but it still doesn't work.

Is there some extra configurations I need to do to get a Virtual Server Pc
to connect with my pc through with a router.

Thanks,
Gustavo

With a cablemodem router that sets 2 ips for internet.
I bought a wireless router in order to have more ips. It actually works for
the other computers but not for the virtual computer with the wireless
adapter linked. For some reason it end up with a 169.254.124.103 IP and a
255.255.0.0 mask, with no gateway, and the "limited or no conectivity"
message.

I removed the wireless router again and it does work, so it has to be
something to do with the wireless router
What could this problem be?

I tried that:
host: IP: 192.168.1.2 Mask: 255.255.255.0 DGateway: 192.168.1.1
vm: IP 192.168.1.20 mask: 255.255.255.0 DGateway: 192.168.1.1 (set manually)

But the VM can't ping the router 192.168.1.1 nor the host 192.168.1.2.

Do I have to set something else besides the default options when using the
adapter on the VM?

I have just tried using the ethernet adapter instead of the wireless to link
with the VM. And it works automatically, the thing is that I will not be
able to work without a cable attached. Is there a problem with wireless
adapter for VSer2005 or Windows 2003?

BTW, my wireless adapter is an Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Net, and my
router is a Netgear 54mbps Wireless Router WGR614v6.

How did the virtual machine get its network config and IP address before
you had a router? How did it get out to the Internet?

Thanks, unluckily for me the wireless support in Virtual server seems to be
sort of limited still. But at least I have peace knowing there's nothing
else I can do about it ;-)

The address you are getting is an APIPA address. This indicates, as you
suspected, the virtual machine is unable to get its IP config from DHCP on
the router.

You could try setting the network config manually. Give the vm the same
netmask and default gateway as the host but a different IP address. For
example if the host is 192.168.0.100 mask 255.255.255.0 dg 192.168.0.1
, make the vm
192.168.0.200 mask 255.255.255.0 dg 192.168.0.1 .
