Virtual PC and network sharing on Windows 7

virtualizationvpnwindows 7

I am running the Windows 7 RC which prevents me from running my companys VPN software (Juniper Network Connect). So I thought I could use the Virtual PC capability in Windows 7 to do it for me.

I have downloaded and installed the XP VM for the Virtual PC addition to Windows 7.
I can log into my VPN in the XP machine via Network Connect.

What I'd like to be able to do now is bridge/share (?) the VPN connection to the Windows 7 host.

Is this possible, and if so, how?

EDIT
Turns out on Windows 7 RTM, Network Connect seems to work fine all by itself!

Cracked it! If you connect through Network Connect in the XP machine and then run a proxy in there, using the internal network adapters, the host (and other VMs) can see the proxy and will be routed out through NetworkConnect to the VPN!
