is there anyway to enable network connection(Internet) from Win 7 over VirtualBox to Debian 64. Whan am at work I use WiFi and I can make FTP/SSH connection from my Win7 to Debian, but at home I have USB 3G mobile connection (Huawei E173) and I cant connect to Debian... And in Debian I have only terminal with no GUI.

When am at home, in Win, ipconfig shows this:

WiFi and cellular modems are tricky beasts with virtualization products - I am guessing you have tried using the guest networking configured as a bridge?

I would suggest using two virtual network adapters for your Debian guest:

  • Adapter 1 - Configured as NAT
  • Adapter 2 - Configured as Host-Only

The idea here is that the NAT adapter will act as the primary gateway to allow your guest access to the same networks your host can see - e.g. your LAN at work and the internet over your 3G modem. The second Host-Only adapter is to provide a stable interface that you can use to reliably connect to your Debian host regardless of other network states.
