need to get my 3g to work

[Hendrikbez]

I am new to to make virtual machine on my computer.

I have install Vm virtual box manager and I have make a virtual machine.

The problem is I use a LAN network and want to add a 3g that only can be used by the virtual machine.

When I put my 3g in, the computer see it an I can use it, but
when I start the virtual box, it see the mtn 3g, but when I click on connect it does not do anything.
I can see my 3g in network, but is don't want to start.

How can I get it to use my 3g in virtual box.

Your best bet would be to use the NAT setting in VirtualBox rather than trying to see the 3G from the vm.

What OS are you running in the host machine?

[Hendrikbez]

Is use windows xp on both of them.

Here are some screen shots.

It shows that it is detecting it, but nothing is happening

I am not sure what the screenshots are supposed to show, but if you can't connect directly to the 3g from the vm, that is what I would expect. My suggestion was that you use NAT from the 3G adapter for the vm and use the Ethernet connection for the host. You would give the vm only one NIC which was set to NAT option. You can select which NIC to use for NAT. You make the connection to the 3G network from the host OS and the vm shares the connection through NAT.

If NAT will not work in the vm from 3G it is probably a limitation of your 3G card.
