Hi

I will keep the question simple with few details, if more is needed tell me. Thanks.

I am playing around with networking and virtualbox. So I have 2 virtual machines. One is windows xp and another has linux in it.

Windows XP has 2 network cards. One for the internet and the other to connect to the linux computer. Linux has one 1 card and it can only access the internet passing through Windows XP. Internet works fine until I activate OpenVPN on Windows.

When I turn on VPN, Linux has no access to it. How can I make linux use VPN too? I believe it has something to do with using the "route" command on XP to send VPN traffic to Linux but I was not able to figure it out how yet.
