Hi,

Do you use Host <-> VM connection or you have 2 physical connections ?

Actually, may be I will try to follow your instructions but I have only one
i7 ThinkPad, so I can only simulate your case on the same host ... will
try at the end of day ...

So if you have some specific setup/notes, you can provide them.

Regards,
