VMWare's virtual DHCP will manage all the network conversions to a real IP address

for example for a windows XP virtual machine here's an image of it's "virtual" network setting. (See attachment).

BTW no probs in runnimg VMWARE virtual machines and "Windows 7 in XP compatability mode" with virtual PC concurrently -- so long as your Real machine has enough RAM -- that's normally the problem resource in running a lot of VM's --CPU power is more than adequate usually.

humm..... I've tried letting it to mange by itself... but seems it's not working.... will there be any difference in xubuntu?
