I've attempted to search the forums for any insight on whether this is possible or not with no luck. I have a Windows 7 Host Machine running an Ubuntu 10.04 Virtual Machine with VMware Player. When I am not connected to the VPN my Ubuntu VM can access the internet using NAT bridging by bridging the VMware Network Adapter 8 connector to the Wireless Adapter in the Windows Network Connections dialog. If I connect to my company's VPN on the Windows host using Cisco AnyConnect VPN without changing any other settings, the VM can access the internet but cannot reach any intranet machines.
Is it possible to share this single host VPN connection with the Ubuntu VM? If so, how can I configure the VMware Player or bridged connections to achieve this?
Thanks in advance for any help!
It turns out this is not possible. You can't share the VPN connection between host and vm.
