Hi René,

I just saw your blog and I was wondering if you can give me a few tips on how to set up the VM ?

I downloaded VM a) and b) from Microsoft site but I cannot get it to work.
I converted both VMs using the free WINIMAGE tool to the WMWorkstation format.
After that, I am able to run the VB a) in a Core 2 Quad computer but I cannot browse any of the sites locally (itweb, hrweb, finweb, etc.).

So I tried my laptop then and I still cannot browse anything. Then, I installed VM b) on my laptop (same procedure as for VB a) ) and when I boot the VM b) there is no internet explorer, so I cannot browse anywhere !!

I have not found any walkthrough on how to set this properly and any help/hint you can offer me I would appreciate it a lot !

Thanks in advance and best regards

Hi Javier,
make sure you've set up the network correctly. I think it was 192.168.150.1 as IP for machine A.
You can look in the DNS to get a clue of the IPs.

Do you know how to configure the VM to access the contoso site from other machines? I always get a 404 when I try to browse to the VM's ip from another machine

Hi Stephan,
I have multiple Contoso VMs running, where I can access the websites remotely.
Make sure you have configured the network, and that you are accessing the right server.
