Okay so I started messing around on my new Dell server.

Networking wise:

vSwitch0 - vmnic5 - plugged into my physical switch that runs the 192.168.1.x network at the office

vswitch1 - vmnic0 - plugged into my physical switch that runs the 192.168.2.x network

In my office:
192.168.1.x network - SBS 2003 box controlling DNS and DHCP for employee computer, Firewall unit
192.168.2.x network - Server 2003 box handing out DHCP, DNS handled by Firewall unit that is hooked up where the DMZ port is a vlan

so I added a test XP guest os to vSwitch1, grabs an ip thats handed out by DHCP. Fine thats expected.

created a vlan id 69, put that XP guest in it, doesn't grab IP. If i statically assign one, with 192.168.2.1 as gateway and dns, can't ping out still.

So how can I get that to do what i want it to do.

What I want:

Virtual Network - 192.168.1.x
- SBS 2003

Virtual Network - 192.168.2.x
- Client Computer Section
----- Server 2003 Box

- Testing Section
------- Multiple VLAN for different Server testing
------- VLAN ID for SBS 08
-------- VLAN ID for Server 08

If possible I want on the 192.168.2.x side to have the testing machines. I want each VLAN for testing to be able to have its on DNS server so I can mess around with group policy correctly.

Is it possible to put that stuff under the 192.168.2.x network or do I just need a 2nd router (have more external IP available), and run the testing side off that?

Ideally I would like the VLAN ID in 192.168.2.x be able to use the 192.168.2.1 gateway, put be seperate so VLAN 1 cant access VLAN 2 etc.

Is this possible or am i thinking too much?
 
=(

no help, maybe i wasn't clear.

my overall goal is to make it so i can have a bunch of test virtual networks, that dont interfere with each other in terms of DNS and such, but still share the same internet connection.

what can i do?>
 
I am actually having the same problem, I set up a 2nd router for the second nic and hooked up the wan link to the first router. Which works half way but i cant ping from the 1st router to the 2nd, but I can ping from the 2nd to the first. Any ideas would be appreciated as well.If I had a l3 switch it would be a lot easier. Any way to make it work? Or do I need 3 routers all together
 
what if you just setup and vswitch not tied to a nic, but just to VMs, and give one of those VMs two nics,one to the vm only vswitch, and one to the 192.168.x.x networks...and set it up to NAT for the other VMs?
