VirtualBox or OVM Server VM with VPN IP
Hi,
I looking for a solution for the following issue:
- connect through VPN a laptop to the intranet, but using a fixed IP address.
It is not feasible to get a fixed IP from the VPN server, as such I'm wondering if I connect the host machine to the VPN (get a dynamic IP) and then startup a VM, will it work if I allocate the fixed IP from the intranet to the VM? So I want to use the host just as a tunnel between the intranet and the VM with the fixed IP (due to this Oracle VM Server sounds more appropriate as it is a bare metal solution).
I have a VirtualBox (4.2.0) VM on a Win7 host and set to have a bridge to the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Virtual Miniport Adapter, but if in the VM (Oracle Linux 5) I set DHCP, eth0 can't be brought up (does not manage to get to the DHCP server) and if I set the fixed IP, I can't even ping the gateway, so this is why I'm asking that is it even possible what I'm thinking about?
Thank you.
