thank you all ,
MR Toni , now i have vmware but i can run each OS in the time if i run more than os in the period time my PC will not work and CPU will be busy ..
if i install more than OS in the VMware how can configure all to the same network ?
do i just need to put it with the same IP for example :
1 OS
192.168.2.2
255.255.255.0
192.168.2.1
2 OS
192.168.2.3
255.255.255.0
192.168.2.1
3 OS
192.168.2.4
255.255.255.0
192.168.2.1
does it work like this ? ir i need more configuration ?
sorry for lots of question but i am new in the networking world ..

The easiest way would be to configure all virtual machines to use virtual switcha nd the configure all machines with IP addresses from the same subnet.
Here is very desciptive guide for VMWare workstation of an older version, but sam principles should apply in latest version:
