client share internet with host ( wireless )

[cfrank]

I have a question

Is it possible that the client ( win7 ) on my Mac OS Lion give the internet to the host ?

My problem is that my long range wireless adapter has no driver for macos lion and in Win7 o WinXP ist funcioning perfectly. So i was thinking that my win7 guest give the internet connection to my macos ? Is this possible ?

So the guest has internt and share the internet connection to my host

Well bridged mode is out I think. VirtualBox can bridge to USB wireless dongles - I do it all the time on one of my XP hosts. However in order to offer it to you as a NIC choice for bridging, I would expect it first has to be recognized as a NIC by the host.

Of course you can mount the dongle as a USB device inside the guest. That may work to give the guest internet access. A second NIC host only networking would provide comms with the host: then it's a matter of Googling for how to make internet connection sharing work between Windows and Mac PCs.
