I have a question around running MAC Leopard OS as well as XP in VMWARE Fusion at the same time. Do I have to use 2 different IP addresses for networking? Also how does the MAC address work for wireless networking - if the MAC address has the same for Leopard and XP then I can't possibly use the same IP address at the same time???

Sorry if this has been asked before?

I also run Fusion on an Intel Mac, and everything works just fine, with XP/Vista/Linux all able to access the internet as per normal, with a seperate IP address.

The only thing I cant do, is log onto a web GUI on a VMWare machine on the Mac, from my Mac browser. I am sure its something simple, but Parallels seems to have more local networking options.
