virtualbox HOST sharing GUEST network connection

[kartikeyans]

Hi,

I have a different and probably interesting requirement.
My ISP does not support MAC OS X login at L2 layer.
He does support Windows/Linux.

I want to do the following.
1. Install latest Virtual Box on Mac OS X.
2. Use Linux Live DVD where GUEST Linux uses HOST Networking ETH
3. login into ISP using Linux (Assigning the IP Addresses given by ISP)

4. Now I want to share this internet connection to MAC OS X for various tasks.
please advice the procedure if the above idea is feasible.

I found distros dedicated to be routers:

Give guset two network cards:
1) host-only: Disable VBox dhcp server (VBoxManage dhcpserver remove vboxnet0), so the guest could give host an ip on vboxnet interface.
2) Bridged, so guest could connect directly with ISP.
