As for the router issue, I WANT my Vm to use the Virtual router instead of the real one. And it has to be the above path.
Thanks.
When you say Go Through 2 routers what are you trying to do?
Access the VM from outside your LAN?
Not sure if that is possible. But if it is you would forward the ports needed to the IP address of the PC hosting the VM then in the VM allow connections from the host IP to the VM.
Not sure how to do all that as I've never had a need to do it and not sure if it can be done. That is because the VM is the router which is after the host PC. If the host PC was the router then I think it would be fairly straight forward.
It's not like connecting two routers from LAN port of one to WAN port of the other. There is something in between, the host PC which will intercept the packets.
Would be doable if they were on the same subnet.
I just started XP Mode MS VPC which I do have setup to use the on board NIC.
Logging onto my router I see that the VM gets a IP from the router and the VPC is listed in the DHCP table.
With that I could forward ports and create a FW rule to allow connections to it form the outside.
Not sure if when the VM is setup on a different subnet whether there are 2 NICs present, one LAN (VM IP) and one WAN (how the host PC gets connected to the VM).
You pose an interesting question.
You could look at the connection in the VM and see what the default gateway address is and how it is getting it's DNS settings.
And then there is CAN the VM NIC/router be configured to allow packets through to the VM.
OK I'm rambling.
