Hi,

Following is my environment:

Host: OS: XPSP3
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 DualCore 2.0GHz
Memory: 2GB
Mode of accessing internet: Wireless Card and Normal Ethernet Card
Host interface 1: Broadcom 802.11b/g Network Adapter
Host interface 2: Generic Marvell Yukon 88E8042 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller
Situation: I can connect to Internet by Wireless card

Guest: OS: XPSP3
Memory: 512MB
Adapter Type: PCNet Fast III (Am79c973)
Attached to: Host Interface 1(Wireless Card)


My question is what should I do can let my guest to connect to internet via Host Interface 1.

Thanks.

Basic internet in the Guest is done through NAT. Set it, and you're done. Doesn't matter if internet goes through wire or through the air (wireless).

Is it in danger of virus to the host if I select to let guest to go to internet through NAT? Can the host be scanned and found by hackers if the host wireless network card is in status of having connected to internet?

Thanks.

You need protection anyway. This security topic has been discussed since I started here, so please search.
