Virtual Machine: no internet

This is my setup:

I have 2 computers connected to the internet through a router. 1 Laptop
wirelessly connected, and a desktop wired to the router. The desktop is
running WinXP SP3. I also have Virtual Server 2005 R1 installed. I am
studying for a MCITP so I am running Windows 2008 server on a virtual
machine within VS. Yet, the vm gets the "Limited or No Connectivity" on the
network card.

What I want to accomplish:
I want to be able to setup the virtual os so that I can remote into it from
my laptop and not be forced to work at the desktop machine hosting the
virtual machines, since other people use it. The whole reason I chose
Virtual Server over Virtual PC was that it runs as a service and won't
interfere with other users.

I've looked into adding a loopback adapter and setting up ICS but that takes
away my ability to remote in, correct?

What are my options? Is there a simple fix for what I want to accomplish?
Thanks for the insight!

How do your computers get there TCP/IP info? DHCP, manual, etc?

You need to set up the VM just like you would a physical computer on
the network.

My LAN is setup to pull DHCP from the router. I had setup the vm to do the
same thing, but it doesn't get an IP, i get the 169.256..... address. So I
tried setting up the IP manually to no avail. I figured that it should just
work too! I figured it was something within VS that maybe I was missing. I
will play around with it again tonight and see what I come up with.

It really depends on how you have configured the networking in Virtual
Server. What network is the vm connected to? How does it get its network
config?

If it is configured to be in the same network as your LAN machines and
set to get its network config from your router, it should just work! What do
you get if you do an ipconfig /all in the OS running on the vm?

Sometimes DHCP does not work properly for vms. This seems to be caused
by an incompatibility with some network drivers. If this is the case, you
should be able to get it working by manually assigning an IP, netmask and
gateway address to the vm.

I figured out the problem. I had to uninstall and reinstall the Virtual
Server Services for the NIC card on my host machine. Once I did that and
restarted the vm, it connected with out problems!
