Apparently, the `real OS' system reached out through the network andlinked with the `virtual' system and then decided to use it's systemfor part of the `real' operation.The `virtual' system has a completely different name.Any thoughts on this?
Can you give us any more detail? As it is, this sounds like the plotexposition of a psycho sci-fi movie.
All I know is IT was setting up a Virtual PC to load wss 3.0 and yesthis is scary!!
There is no significant difference between physical and virtual as faras WSS3 is concerned, what were the problems you were seeing?
As far as I know, a unique IP from our network, a clean install and adifferent name for the `server'. Our main site will not comeup....or went down not accessible....
We already have Server running Sharpoint and was working fine until asstated above....
Does the virtual have a unique IP address and host name? How was the VMcreated - a clean OS install or a copy of an already running physical orvirtual machine?
As far as I know, a unique IP from our network, a clean install and adifferent name for the `server'. We have no access to our site onthe other server.
There's either something missing from your description, or you/youradmin are misunderstanding what you are seeing. What you describe isn'treally possible.
I am relaying information as I get it - The IT person is working withMS to fix this problem - I will let you know what I can later. Thankyou for some areas to look into per my issue - I was really lookingto see if anyone had experienced this before.
Are they using the same network card?
