I wouldn't advocate going over USB to get to your host's USB Blaster. I would use the virtual networking connection instead. You can do this be setting up Quartus II on your host to act as a jtag server (http://quartushelp.altera.com/current/mergedprojects/global/install/install_pro_jtag.htm).

You can then type "jtagconfig --addserver <server> <password>" using the host's IP address (real or virtual) and the password you defined in the process described at the above link.

I prefer this method over getting virtual USB to function properly. Though I've gotten both to function, the virtual networking thing is easier...in my opinion.

Best of luck!
