USB Port and Ubuntu Server (hyper-v)

Hi all,

I'm running a virtual ubuntu machine (Ubuntu 12.04) using Hyper V, on a Windows 2008 R2 host.

I need to use a Usb modem in this ubuntu virtual machine. I read some answers regarding this but can't find a way to do this.

Is there a way to do this without having to install a USB-IP solution? Can I just plug the modem on the host and somehow access trough the virtual machine?

Thanks a lot, all answers will be great appreciated.
