 | Vista - Sharing between host and VM |
 |

| 09-16-2009 | #1 |
| | Sharing between host and VM I have a WinXP Pro SP3 as host and a guest VM2007 with WinXP Pro SP3 installed on it. If I click View Workgroup Computers on the VM, I can see both the host and the VM, and I can access share folders on the host from the VM by clicking the host. If I click View Workgroup Computers on the host, I can see both the host and the VM, but if I click the VM I get a message about that the network path \\VM1 can't be find - where VM1 is the name of the VM. I would be grateful for any tip on how to to access the VM from the host. Thanks, Inge |

| | Re: Sharing between host and VM Have tried different guest firewall settings, and even turned it off. Undfortunately it has not helped. It would be great to know: Is there anybody out there who actually has managed to access share folders on the Virutal PC guest from the host?

| | RE: Sharing between host and VM Thought I should give the error message I get when trying to open the VM computer from the host computer: Login error. The user has not been granted requested login type on this computer.

| | RE: Sharing between host and VM Just on thing that might lead somone to a solution: If I turn the guest user account on the VM off, I get a login "Connects to" box when clicking the VM on the host. The login box has the guest account given and it could not be changed. When I click OK to log in, nothing happens.

If one or the other are on a domain things becomes rather much more complicated. In any case you're better off asking on a Windows XP networking newsgroup.
