Deraldo,

I made this bridge with a real NIC. I guess it would work with a dial-up connection, but I don't have one to test it with.

Thx,

Daniel

Hi. FYI.

as developer, i make my note an 2008 AD server with two virtual machines. one is XP32 and another Vista 32. these 3 machines must share same network. I am working in a project with two different clients for the same host. 3 machines.

I put an loopback adapter into the host and create a virtual with it. So now, I can demonstrate my software in an stand alone machine. right?

well. the host can access the internet in 3 different ways. By the physical NIC, by the wireless and by the cell phone. To share these connection with my two virtual machines, i use the ICS.

works fine!

and my reasons to use the 2008 were the same ones that yours.

I will make some tests using the bridged way (your way) instead the ICS. I tell you what i get.

best regards

The "Bridge Connections" menu is gray in my ThinkPad T61. Do you know why?

Pei,

I don't know why that it. However, I have seen that same problem with someone else who had the exact same machine, perhaps it is something specific to that computer.

Same problem, I have the Bridge Network Connection option grayed out. :( Do you know if that other person found a solution for that one?

Thanks

Afraid not. I have no idea what causes it, nor if it is specific to a certain laptop make/model. The only other option is to try "Internet Connection Sharing".

When i try this, the VM gets a duplicate IP by DHCP.

Fixed IPs work fine, so at least i can get them connected.

Thanks for the elaborated instruction. You saved me hours of frustrating research in just few minutes.

It now works like a charm.

Guys. I believe that the T61 grayed out bridge connections may be due to group policy settings if your machine is on a domain. I can neither bridge connections or setup ICS because of this issue.

Afraid the only way around it is to remove your computer from the domain.

The reason you see bridge connections grayed out is probably because of a Active Directory policy if you are connected to a domain. If you believe this might be your issue, here is a way around it.

Disable you network card that is connected to the network. Open regedit and go to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\service\SharedAccess, find the start DWORD key and change it to 2. This enabled the ICS, Bridge capability which has been disabled by group policy. Reboot.

The reason you disabled the internet connection is to prevent the AD policy from re-applying when you reboot. Now bridge you connections and then enable the NIC again.
