Access Internet Connection of Guest Machine on Host Machine!

Post by majrul »

Hi,

I am currently using Snow Leopard 10.6.2. The problem is i have a USB Broadband Modem from ZTE for which drivers for SL are not available. So i installed Windows XP over VirtualBox so that i can somehow connect to the internet from the virtual host. Now there is no problem in connecting to the internet from within virtualbox Windows XP. But i am unable to access the internet from my Snow Leopard.

The question is, how can i access the internet connection of the guest os from the host os. I am a noob, so please help!

Try setting up ICS on the guest and point your host to the proxy on the guest.
You will probably be able to get away with host-only unless the modem is a router as well. If so then try Bridged
