Raw message 

The only Virtual environment that I've had success with is VMWare for Grase.

You will need two Virtual NICs, the first I'd suggest setting it to bridge 
mode so that it's on your local network (the WAN side of Grase). The second 
is a little more tricky as your host machine is only really on the same 
network.

For testing, I'd suggest creating a second VM (say Windows 7) and stick 
Windows 7 in a custom virtual network (say VMnet5 - something that isn't 
used elsewhere). Then you'll want to assign the second Virtual NIC for 
Grase to the same custom virtual network.

After this, head to the Virtual Network Editor (assuming you're using 
VMWare Workstation). Create the Virtual Network (choose VMnet5 or what you 
chose before). Set it to Host-only and turn off local DHCP service. You may 
or may not also need to turn off "Connect a host virtual adapter to this 
network" so that the host machine can't see it.

I have used Grase in a VMWare ESXi environment and it works perfectly, 
however we had existing tagged VLANs for the DMZ and Public side of Grase. 
We also had to create separate virtual networks in ESXi to split off the 
two sides of Grase to their respective networks.

Haven't tested the above for VMWare Workstations, but it should help. If I 
had VirtualBox installed I'd try and find instructions for it too, but I 
don't know what it is or isn't capable of network-wise.
