The need - This question is relevant for all of those who want to bypass their corporate's annoying VPN, and access their work/corporate network from their private computer, especially if the corporate VPN client software can't run on their private computer.

Homework: this question is very similar to this one and this one, which aren't answered :(

The challange - Can't run the corporate VPN client from the private computer, so converted the work laptop to a VMWare Virtual Machine. The VPN client is working fine inside the Guest VM, now we want to share it with the Host (the private computer)

The specs: * The private computer (Host OS) is Mac OS X Lion 64bit * The corporate laptop (Guest VM) is WinXP 32bit, running in Bridged network mode * The VPN client on the Guest VM is is Checkpoint SecuRemote NGX R60 HFA03 * While the VPN is running in the Guest VM, the Host can still ping the Guest and vice versa

What do you want to share by host?

  1. Files? Using the sharing utility of VM to access your host drives via \.host
  2. Desktop? Use a remote protocol such as VNC or RDP to share the desktop.
  3. Network? Make your host the default gateway of you gust. Use NAT in that case.
  4. Anything else?
