Connect one virtual machine to the internet but not the other?

[AndCaffeine]

Hi all,

I am trying to set up a virtual lab consisting of two computers, a windows and a linux.
I want to set it up so that the two computers can talk to each other, and the linux can talk to the internet, but the windows can only talk to the internal network, like a host-only network.
When I set up the linux to shared and windows to host-only and put them on the same subnet, they can't talk to each other. Does anyone know how this can be done?

Any help is appreciated!

Hi,
There are two ways:

1) The most correct, which reflects how it is done in real networks, is to add to Linux-VM additional network adapter in Host-Only mode. So, Win<->Lin will see each other over HostOnly.

2) The uncorrect is to configure Windows to be in SharedNetworking, assign to it static IP-address from this net (10.211.55.x) and don't provide router.
