NAT does not work unless I have also use DHCP

I'm sure this is probably somewhere but I can't find the answer.

(My home system - try things)

I have a guest linux (vyatta) set up as a 'virtual' router, connected to the host linux via NAT.   Other guests windows allows access to the 'real' router provided by my ISP and the internet beyond this router.

I used the automatic DHCP server on the virtual network of NAT between host and virtual router and it was working well, but I decided to try the static IP instead. I thought I just needed to configure static IP addresses and disable the DHCP server.

It works not well - has more no connection between the virtual NETWORK adapter on the host computer and the 'real' router facing NIC I can't ping the 'real' virtual router router or a windows guest.

Why is this?

Thank you

Welcome to the community,

Looks like a complicated configuration

Are what OS you running on host computers? At least with the hosts Windows the NAT virtual gateway address is x.x.x.2. You have configured the gateway address into your virtual router?
