Virtual Servers cannot connect to host PC Database

| Hi,
On my laptop I am running Virtual Server 2005 with 2 x Windows 2003
Servers. Both the VS can access the internet and shared files on the
host laptop. On the host laptop I have a SQL Server 2000 running.
I have written a Windows Service to detect Application Errors and fire
duplicates of events to the database, and this service sits on both VS.
It does work as I have tested it on host. BUT everytime I make
application errors on the VS nothing is deposited into my database.
Very frustrating!
I have also tried to create a ODBC connection through the Data Source
Administrator, and when I enter the login credentials for SQL I get
connection error messages.
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks
Sun

How have you configured the virtual network?

| The host & VS all use the wireless card to communicate, which is
connected to my wireless DCHP router. There is no problem in the hosts
and VS communicating as I can ping each of them from each other.
Thanks

| A few things to try:
1. Have you enabled TCP/IP connections to the SQL server ? (to check,
enter the properties page of the server, click on "network
configuration and make sure tcp/ip is enabled).
2. If no.1 doesn't help - Are you using a host name or an IP ? Try
using an IP.
3. Check for a firewall on the host.
