I have a mac running OS X that I need to connect to my company intranet. They have a specific program to do that and it only runs on Windows. I created a windows virtual machine with vmware and I connected it to the VPN.
No, I can't use an alternative program in OS X to connect - like IPSec(protocol), AT&T, etc - and I don't want to reverse engineer the company's tool.
What I need to do now is route the OS X network connection through the windows VM.
Vmware already created a virtual network interface to connect between Windows and OS X.
OS X:
$ifconfig vmnet8
vmnet8: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:50:56:c0:00:08
inet 172.16.27.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.16.27.255
I can ping the Windows 7 VM from OS X:
$ ping 172.16.27.2
| | | |
| | vmware(NAT) | |
|Mac (172.16.27.1) |<----------->|Win(172.16.27.2) |
| | | |
The company's tool created a virtual interface called "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2" that contains the company's intranet IP:

How can I access "10.8.15.150" from OS X? How do I make it "magically" route network traffic through the Windows VM into the VPN?
