Yes, I too sometimes have a server running on win - hence the use of the
virtual switch. In fact I had completely forgotten that VPC had the NAT mode -
it is so long since I set it all up.

If you can't get at your default router to fix the return path you could set it
on all the boxes on the LAN - but that would preclude you going out to the
internet - it would get out but the reply would only get back as far as the
router that would not know what to do with it. As I am using a computer as a
firewall/router I don't have the problem as I can configure it anyway I want.
Which you can't always do with a hardwired box.

For example I now have a DLink DWL-700AP for wireless connections. It *claims*
to act as a dhcp server - which it does - sort of. The problem is there is no
provision to set DNS - it always supplies its own address as the server. I
guess it is supposed to route it onwards but I can't get it to work here. Any
lookup fails. Like nslookup will say unable to contact server on <whatever the
AP address is>
