I want to run virtual machines on my server, and I will setup DHCP in order to assign IP Addresses. I have a Server Support company in order to do this, however they are telling me I need two network cards which I find hard to believe as I have seen others on here who are running VM's. I have installed the DHCP Server

Yes you right.

Do I need dedicated IP's for each virtual machine I run?

No. You can use just one IP.

Do I need another NIC, if not why isn't it allowing any connections to the VM's - In this case I was running Windows 7 just to make configuration easier with the GUI etc.

No. You can assign all VM just use 1 NIC, no need additional NIC. I have SYS server with 50 VMs, do I need 50 NICs? Absolute not, just 1 NIC used.
Btw, what you need is the important feature of OVH which not all Data Center have: Failover IP!
Please read OVH documentation about Failover IP, they have very detail explanation and there is also sample config for both Linux and Windows.

Hello,

I want to run virtual machines on my server, and I will setup DHCP in order to assign IP Addresses. I have a Server Support company in order to do this, however they are telling me I need two network cards which I find hard to believe as I have seen others on here who are running VM's. I have installed the DHCP Server, but I haven't had any intervention since then as they have taken it over for me (as that's what I pay them for).

Few questions;

Do I need dedicated IP's for each virtual machine I run?
Do I need another NIC, if not why isn't it allowing any connections to the VM's - In this case I was running Windows 7 just to make configuration easier with the GUI etc.

Thank you!
