Use virtualized machine as gateway to internet

[Gregory.38]

Hi everybody,

I facing a problem, which is maybe unsolvable.

I use Parallel Desktop on my Mac to virtualize a Win XP machine. I connect this machine to internet via a WiFi USB key. If I do that it's because I must pass through a VPN (only possible on XP).

My question is : as soon as my XP machine is connected to Internet through the VPN, can I forward all my connection of my Mac to the tunnel opened by the WM.

I think it's kind of using the WM as internet gateway.

If anybody know if it's possible or not.

thank you by advance

Greg

Hi,

Most of the VPN clients disallow this feature of Windows. But you can try.. see http://kb.parallels.com/en/5557

With some modifications (you don't need second adapter with Shared Networking in your VM, just one with Host Only) it could help you.
