How do you regular Windows networking inside of VPC guest to map a drive to
the host? In Windows Explorer when I expand Network, I see the VPC guest
(itself) and 2 other workstaitons in my WorkGroup, but do not see the host
machine listed. I have shared a couple of folders on the host, how do I map
a drive or create a network place inside of my VPC guest?
