On the Technet board, I was offered the following advice: "Why not run a vm as a NAT router between the private virtual network and the physical network? Put the "private" NIC of the router in the virtual network with the other guest and link the "public" NIC to the switch. That is the standard approach. You would need third party software to run NAT on a Windows client OS (unless you settle for ICS) but you could run an appliance like PfSense."
Because I am a bit "challenged" with networks (I am a medical doctor by profession), I would still need some hand-holding (e.g. step-by-step) if anybody can spare the time. Help would be gratefully appreciated!
Hi there
if you can get 4G set your phone up as your Wi-Fi router and connect your computer through the phone to your VPN -- that way you don't have to worry about Hotel Wi-Fi and the speed is usually a lot faster too -- especially if the hotel is busy and 90% of the guests are all on the Wi-Fi at the same time.
Most 4G contracts (at least where I am) have unlimited usage too so even better.
Mind you the last time I stayed in a Mariott they had LAN in the rooms and you could connect an additional 3 devices by Wi-Fi at the same time on the same subion -- the LAN was fine but Wi-Fi was not good in a busy hotel so the 4G solution worked perfectly for me. If you can get 4G it's STREETS ahead of "public Wi-Fi" systems.
I'm sorry to necro an old thread but I'm in the opposite boat. I need to set yup my VM to ask for login. At the moment it says unidentified network with no internet access.
