VMware Workstation: Internet on Guest only

This is about 'Vmware Workstation 6':

I'm looking for a way to only connect to the internet on a Virtual Machine, not on the physical host.

In other words:
There should be no connection 'physical PC -> Internet'
There should be only connection 'Virtual PC -> Internet'

Could someone guide me in detail how this could be done?

Thanks in advance,
Andy

Re: VMware Workstation: Internet on Guest only
I helped someone do this before. They had a USB wifi device that would not work in linux. They loaded up workstation w/ an XP guest, and passed through the wifi dongle.

It actually worked pretty well.

Re: VMware Workstation: Internet on Guest only
You may use a firewall to allow only a certain subnet on the internet and set up your DHCP server to assign an IP from that subnet to your Workstation and an IP from a different subnet to your physical PC, according to the MAC Address (virtual MACs have a specific prefix). B-)
