VPN connection set up

Post by ctck »

I have Virtual Box 3.1.4 installed. Host - Snow Leopard(Mac) Guest - Windows 7 (32-bit).
I have installed Windows on my MAC because I need it for work. I cannot establish VPN connection (using NAT).
I tried to use bridged adapter, and I lost my internet connection on my guest completely.

I don't know much about networking, so I need detailed instructions for his particular OSs. Could someone please help me with this?

Some random details about my attempts:
On my host Windows I get error 800 trying to VPN.
I can ping server address from my guest Win 7 and I have VPN connection established from my host Mac.
I do disable VPN on my Mac when tying to establish it through guest.
I tried to VPN from Mac and see if Guest sees it. It doesn't.
I need my guest machine to be able to VPN because I want to map network drives on this machine and also i will be using LotusNotes.

Thank you!
