Share a VPN connection made in a VirtualBox guest, with the host OS?

Question

I am running VirtualBox 3.2.6 on Fedora 13 and have one guest OS installed (WinXP). I can only connect to my VPN at work through windows, so I would like to be able to connect to VPN in the guest (windows) OS and then be able to go back to the Fedora host and work, seemlessly connected to the VPN inside the guest.

Is this possible? How can I configure this?

THanks for any help offered!

Answer 1

I've been trying to do this as well, so far without success. I'm trying to use a bridged networking, but the host doesn't seem to be able to use a shared internet connection that way. My next attempt will be to setup the guest as a proxy for the host.
