I am using Server 2003 x64 on the host, and server 2003 standard on guests. My host has two NICS, one set to internal and one to external. I have a static IP on each of these, one points to the outside router and one handles the internal LAN.
I have a guest set up as a proxy server. I have two NICS in that, one is set to use the host's internal NIC (bridged) via VMNet0, and the other is set to use the hosts external NIC via VMNet2 (I specified the adapter in the host virtual network mapping. Here is the wierd thing: my users can access the internet through our proxy, and inbound email is correctly being routed through the host, proxy to our mail server. So far, so good. When I try and remote control into the LAN from outside, I can get to the proxy, but nowhere else. When I go to the proxy VM, I cannot ping anything, host, other guests, or anything on the internal LAN. On a LAN machine, I can ping and connect to both the proxy and host systems. Any ideas?
