VirtualBox: How to share a guest's (XP) internet with the host (OS X)

I have an internet connection that can only be used on Windows operating systems (our school requires that we install an .exe login client to connect to the dorm internet). As I am currently using a Mac, my goal is to get the internet running in XP in a virtual machine, and then share the virtual machine's internet with the host. Here's what I've done so far (I'm pretty new to all this, so sorry if I leave out anything important!):
1) Install VirtualBox, create a new XP virtual machine
2) Add a Bridged Adaptor NIC to the guest allowing it access to the ethernet port
With this, I can use the internet fine in the guest, but have no internet in the host. (Note: Making the NIC NAT does not work. When set to NAT, the login client in XP can't find the school's server and I can't use the internet). The next step is getting the guest to share it's internet with the host. Here's what I've tried:
3) Add a second Host-only Adaptor NIC to the guest specifying the following:
IP: 192.168.22.2
Network Mask: 225.225.225.0
DHCP Server unclicked (disabled)
4) In the guest, enable Internet Connection Sharing for the internet connection.
At this point, LAN 2 in the guest (the connection to the host, I think) gets automatically configured with an IP of 192.168.22.1 and the same mask as above. Back in the host, I can ping 192.168.22.1 and get a response. But no internet.
I feel like I'm missing a step, namely how do I instruct the OS X host to use the Host-only connection as its internet connection? I can see the connection ("vboxnet0") when I use ifconfig in the terminal but I have no idea how to use the connection for internet. Anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks for your help!

OS X is passing the Internet connection to the guest OS, it doesn't work the other way around.
You will have to install Windows into Bootcamp and I don't think XP is supported any longer, however Win 7 Pro+ will run most XP programs.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
You'll of course be booting the Mac directly into Windows and thus OS X won't be running, thus you can't share the Internet connection to OS X.
Another alternative is to use a Windows 7 Pro+ machine to connect to the network and then sharing it's Internet connection to the Mac via Ethernet cable or wirelessly.

How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s?

How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s? I have a bluetooth car device and when I try to talk through it (as I did with my old phone) to call someone it does not work. so far only hte last person called is redialed.

That is a carrier-based service. So first you have to make sure your service contract includes that feature.
It usually also includes Call Hold. So you call the first party, put them on hold, call the second, then reactivate the first. But only if your carrier allows you to.

No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

Are you using the earbuds that came with the iPhone? If you are using other earphones, it's possible that they need an adaptor to work with the iPhone's recessed headphone jack.

How can we handle browser settings while dealing with the security ?

Hi ,
how can we handle browser settings while dealing with the security ?When we configured security in web.xml , during the first request the container is asking for the authentication credentials once they are provided it go's on. but when the user gives a fresh request from the second window within the same browser that time it is not asking for authentication. How can we overcome this.Is there anything to do with server configurations?
How can we make the container no to keep the things or act like session?

Ya... I am taking a small example need not happen always but a kind of possibility i am thinking off.
once the user sign out and just left without closing the browser and a friend (suppose not a good friend ... just kidding...) of that user may open the same jsp or file .This time the security is breached. If that feature or property exists....
I know what you might say ... the user will log-out before leaving where a programer might invalidate the session at the time of log out.
Consider the case of a bad Programing or just a programer might forget to invalidate,At that time as a application administrator how can he solve that issue.
Thanks.......

Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

I need to use Flash and illustratore, but apparently those programmes are incompatible with the new operative sistem...
I am a new mac users and I'd like to know if there are other similar programmes I can use with lion!

(see FCP X)..
good luck with apple dude..
Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
<The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

How to insert some strings in a query with the clausule 'in' in a procedure

Hello fellows.
Do you know how to insert some strings in a query with the clausule 'in' in a procedure (with a variable)?.
I tell us my problem with an example:
I want to use this select but introducing a variable instead the 'value1', 'value2':
select * from table1 where field1 in ('value1', 'value2');
if I declare the variable var1 as:
TC_VAR1 CONSTANT VARCHAR2(50) := '''value1'',''value2'''
and I use it as:
select * from table1 where field1 in (TC_VAR1);
It doesn't work because Oracle takes TC_VAR1 as an all string. I think Oracle takes it as this:
select * from table1 where field1 in ('value1, value2');
If I use the data type TABLE, I don't know how to use well:
TYPE varchar2_table IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(10);
tb_var varchar2_table;
select * from table1 where field1 in (tb_var);->It returns an error and there ins't an method that it returns all values.
A curious case is that if I have a sql script (for example script1.sh) with this query:
select * fromt able1 where field1 in (&1)
and I invoke this script as
script1.sh "'''value1'',''value2'''". It works
Can anybody helps me?.
Thanks.

Thanks to all. Really.
First, sorry for my English. It's horrible. Thank to all for understand it (my English).
I've resolved my problem with these links:
ORA-22905: cannot access rows from a non-nested table item
and
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/896356/oracle-error-ora-22905-cannot-access-rows-from-a-non-nested-table-item
At last, I have used someting like this:
DECLARE
number_table_tmp NUM_ARRAY:=NUM_ARRAY(410673, 414303, 414454, 413977, 414042, 414115, 413972, 414104, 414062);
BEGIN
FOR c1 IN (SELECT par_id, 1 acc_vdo_id FROM SIG_VIS_CAM
WHERE par_id IN (SELECT * FROM TABLE(number_table_tmp))
UNION ALL
SELECT par_id, 2 acc_vdo_id FROM SIG_ACCAO a
WHERE par_id IN (SELECT * FROM TABLE(number_table_tmp))) LOOP
NULL;
END LOOP;
END;
but first I had to create the type NUM_ARRAY like this:
CREATE TYPE subjectid_tab AS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY binary_integer;
THANK YOU, GUYS. YOU ARE THE BESTS. ;-)

How to import my photos to Photos libray with the same folder name?

how to import my photos to Photos libray with the same folder name?

You can import a folder of photos to the Photos.app by dragging the folder onto the Photos icon in the Dock. That will open an Import panel, and you can select to import all photos from the folder. But the folder name will be lost.
The photos will appear in the "Last Import" album. Select them all in the Last Import and create a new album with the folder name (fFile > New Album).

SHARE TIME CAPSULE AS THROUGH INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB

SHARE TIME CAPSULE AS THROUGH INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB

Most ISP correctly block SMB over internet. It is too insecure .. use VPN to a different router and place the TC behind it.
Besides TC does not expose SMB to WAN.. same reason. You have to port forward SMB.
You can use SMB on some strange port.. there are instructions if you want you networked just use them.
