I am using Windows 8.1 through a boot camp partition on an Apple PC and I have installed VMware Workstation. I have OS X Snow Leopard as guest OS within the working Virtual Machine.

I am using a cheap netsetter which has a driver that is only available for OS X. How can I share my netsetter connection to my host Windows 8.1 from my vmware guest OS 'Snow Leopard` so I can update the software contained within the host OS.

  • I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's about running OS X in a virtual machine on non-Apple hosts, which is against the EULA and not supported.

  • So are you running Windows through Boot Camp? Which Mac are you using?

  • How do you have malware on a virtual machine that doesn't have an internet connection.
