Guest network usable by host network?

Post by jwhitene »

I have linux on a laptop. I need to connect to a checkpoint vpn The linux client (ssl network extender) is buggy/stalls/is slow. The windows and mac clients are stable though.

I have windows 7 installed in virtualbox on my iinux host. Is it possible to share the guest (windows) network when using the vpn with the host (linux)?

Networking is one of my weaker areas of knowledge obviously, so I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question:)

Hi,
I had that used a few years ago. Do not recall the details, but I think I had a second network adapter configured in the guest.
And perhaps some routes on the host.
Sorry for my poor memory.
Thanks, ucrasher.
