Need simultanious internet connections, Win7 (using VM)/ OS X

Hoping some VM Fusion guru can help me find an answer. I need this set-up for

work and would save me having to buy a cheap Windows 7 machine to run

my software.

Set-up:

Imac (Quad Core)

Windows 7 (running VM Fusion, not bootcamp)

2 internet connections both DSL, access points: wireless and direct connect (ethernet)

Goal:

Have OS X use one internet access point and Windows 7 running under VM Fusion use another. It

doesn't matter which access point is utilized by

which OS. I am hoping VM Fusion has a setting to set-up

the internet gateway. As of now I could find anything on this.

Thanks in advance!

You can set your VM to bridge to whatever host interface you want wired (en0) or wireless (en1), If you have one interface configured for one access point and the other for the second access point then you can split your host traffic and your guest VM traffic accordingly.
