Hi all,
I have an absurd problem at least according me
I have a laptop running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, and I installed VirtualBox on it to run windows Xp pro. I setup the virtual machine to use host networking so i use the following script to connect Windows to the local network.
Code:
# Set up variables here:
DESC="Virtualbox IP tunnel"
VBOXUSER=alp # this should be your username, can use 'root' if you want it for everyone
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
TUNDEVICE=tap1 # Arbitrary, but must match device used in virtualbox network device setting
LANDEVICE=eth1 # Adjust to match your WiFi device - may be ath0 etc.
IPADDR=192.168.1.60 # pick something from an unused subnet
case "$1" in
start|restart|force-reload)
echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
chown root:vboxusers /dev/net/tun
tunctl -t $TUNDEVICE -u $VBOXUSER
ip link set $TUNDEVICE up
ip addr add $IPADDR dev $TUNDEVICE
iptables -t nat -P POSTROUTING DROP
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $LANDEVICE -j MASQUERADE
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/$TUNDEVICE/proxy_arp
parprouted $LANDEVICE $TUNDEVICE
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping $DESC: "
iptables --table nat -F
ip link set $TUNDEVICE down
;;
*)
N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
echo "Usage: $N start|stop" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
But of course that is not enough, I assigned a static ip to Windows which is "192.168.1.61" .
And now I am able to connect to internet and can access to other computers on LAN in Windows. But the problem is I can NOT access Windows from other computers and i can not ping "192.168.1.61". It says:

ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted

So I am not able to connect to Windows through rdp with the following command, after waiting for some it ends up with connection timed out!
Code:
alp@alp-laptop:~/Desktop$ rdesktop -rsound:remote -A -s "c:\seamlessrdp\seamlessrdpshell.exe C:\Shell\WinShellEx\WinShellEx.exe" -c "c:\seamlessrdp" 192.168.1.61:3389 -u "remoteUser" -p password -N
Autoselected keyboard map en-us
ERROR: connect: Connection timed out
I also tried to connect 192.168.1.60 using rdesktop but it doesn't work either!
But I can ping 192.168.1.60 from other computers...
So Can anyone help me?... I am desperate...
