Repeat the process on your Windows Server 2008 machine.
If either machine fails this test, you need to troubleshoot your network and fix it before you can proceed with this project.
ipconfig
Scroll up as necessary to find the IP address
of the interface that goes to the Internet--usually
it's "Local Area Connection", as shown below.
Ignore any "VMware" adapters.
Repeat this process on your other computer.
Compare the two addresses to see if they are on the same subnet. Most networks have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, so the first three octets must match.
In the example above, the address is 192.168.119.129, so the other machine's address must start with 192.168.119 to match.
If the machines are not on the same subnet, change your virtual networking mode to "Bridged" as explained in project 7.
If you cannot connect with bridged networking, you could make a second virtual machine on the same host and set the networking to "NAT" on both machines instead.
ipconfig /all
Scroll up as necessary to find the IP address
of the interface that goes to the Internet--usually
it's "Local Area Connection", as shown below.
Ignore any "VMware" adapters.
Make a note of these settings:
Near the top of the search results, click "View network connections".
The Network Connections window opens, as shown below:
Right-click "Local Area Connection" and click Properties.
In the "Local Area Connection Properties" box, double-click "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)".
In the "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties" box, click the "Use the following IP address" button.
Carefully enter these values, just as you recorded them previously, as shown below:
In the "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties" box, click OK.
In the "Local Area Connection Properties" box, click OK.
In the Command Prompt window, type this command, and then press Enter:

Right-click "Local Area Connection" and click Properties.
In the "Local Area Connection Properties" box, double-click "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)".
In the "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties" box, change the IPv4 address to your Windows Server 2008 machine's IP address, which you noted previously.
In the "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties" box, click OK.
In the "Local Area Connection Properties" box, click OK.
You have now created an impossible situation: two machines with the same address. Or have you?
In the "Local Area Connection Status" box, click the Details button.
The "Network Connection Details" box should now show two "Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address" values, one starting with 169.254, and the other one at the value you assigned, as shown below.
Windows 7 silently replaces the illegal IPv4 address with an autoconfiguration address, which will block Internet access.
Windows XP displays an error message when it detects an IP address conflicts, but Windows 7 does not.
