Since you're asking what to do, I assume this didn't work for you for some reason. In that case, what you want to do is to use the iptables program on your host. Typing: man iptables will give you the available options for iptables. I seem to recall there is also an iptables how-to in the linux howtos collection. There are as well various other unofficial how-tos on the web explaining how to do various things using iptables. Briefly, as root, you need to type the following on your host: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -A FORWARD -i vboxnet0 -o ppp0 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -o vboxnet0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE This should be on four lines, so make sure it doesn't wrap. This doesn't last across reboots, so you'll want to put this in a boot script such as /etc/rc.local or some such. If you install one of any number of firewall packages on your host, nat should be taken care of by such a package. HTH.
