Virtual server and workstation "network name no longer available"

I am creating a virtual domain setup for a testing scenario. The host OS is
XP/SP2. The guest OS's are Windows Server Enterprise R2 with SP2, hosted on
Virtual Server 2005R2, and XP/SP2 hosted on Virtual PC 6.0.156.0. I ran
dcpromo on the virtual server and created a new domain. I installed Exchange
2003 Enterprise on the virtual server. All was good. Now I want to join the
Virtual PC into the domain running on the Virtual Server. Every time I try, I
get the domain password prompt, followed (after a pause) by "The following
error occured attempting to join the domain "training.study.com": The
specified network name is no longer available".

I have turned off TCPChimney on the server. I have run netdiag and there are
no reported errors. DNS seems OK. I can ping the server by name from the
workstation. Server and workstation virtual NIC's are both set to 100Mb
full-duplex Windows firewall is turned off on the virtual PC.

All this is running on one physical box.

Any ideas people?

You do not need to have VPC running at all. You can run the XP guest under
Virtual Server.

What network are the virtual machines connected to? I would put them all
in the internal virtual network so that they do not affect the host machine
and its physical network.

Thanks for that Bill, I didn't know it. Both VM's are on the actual physical
LAN at present, because I needed that for building and patching them, but I
will switch them now to the virtual LAN (and put them both on to Virtual
Server) and see how we go.

If you put all of them on the virtual LAN, you need enable NAT on th
host if you want VMs to access the interne
