Maybe, but I believe also that I have personnal difficulties to handle 
it. Until now I was just using WmWare ESX and ESXi, wich is an 
integrated solution (virtualization + virtualswitch). So of course in 
that case, it is much easier to connect a vm to a vs.

Anyway thanks to all of you for your support.

I hope so. I printed the sheet and tried to follow every step that was 
written.
