Fail connecting to local virtual machines

I have a Windows Vista in an enterprize domain. This PC is running VMware
supporting also some 3 virtual XP machines.
In another networking card via LAN it is connected also to another XP
machine, which is not a domain memeber.
Problem is that while maping a local drive in the LAN PC works fine,
connectng and/or maping in the virtual machines (also not members in the
Vista domain) fails.
Can someone help please?
Regards
James

Re: Fail connecting to local virtual machines

Can you ping other computers by IP?

Re: Fail connecting to local virtual machines

Can you ping the hostname? If not, check the DNS settings or enable NetBIOS
over TCP/IP. If yes, what's the system error when using net use to map?

Re: Fail connecting to local virtual machines

Thanks Bob Lin,
I couldn't ping a hostname so I enabled NetBios over TCP/IP following your
advice.
Pinging using hostname still failed.
I want to try the DNS option but don't know how to do it.
Can you farther help?
Regards
James

Re: Fail connecting to local virtual machines

We need more information to help. Post back with the results of ipconfig
/all and nslookup may help.

Re: Fail connecting to local virtual machines

I have a lot questions regarding this configuration.

1. 100.0.0.0/8 is private IP addresses or private?
2. Are you using 8.0.0.0/8 as private IP addresses?
3. Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0
8.30.8.136
could be the problem too.
4. Default: Server UnKnown could be another problem.
