I have two virtual machines (XP Mode). They are connected to each other by a network setting - Internal Network. It is the only working setting. This is the only way I got two virtual XP to ping each other.

Now I want to connect each of them from the application that runs on Windows 7 which is hosting both virtual machines, but I can't do that.

The firewall on both XP-Mode machines is disabled. Any other networking setting added as additional adapter on Xp-Mode machine does not allow me to connect from Windows 7.

So my question is this - how to enable connection from Windows 7 application to XP mode application (client - server)?

The layout

Point 2 (pass message) work perfectly because of the "internal network" setting. The problem is point 1 and 3.
