Hi Guys

This is probably silly but is it possible?

Basically I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 x64 as host to a win7 vbox vm. now what I normally do is connect the host to the internet using a normal 3G card then through NAT use the win7 to connect to my work VPN (Juniper VPN, which I struggled to get working and finally gave up).

This method works but now what if I wanna share that VPN connection back to my Ubuntu host and have my Ubuntu system as part of VPN network.

that's possible just share your internet connection on Windows and then on your ubuntu box set the gateway

thanks but fought with the VPN and through a combination of guides finally got it working

here are the links used though it now changes to "how to get juniper working in ubuntu"
