access to the network drive on XP vm & Mac host

I'm under vmware 2.0.5 and XP SP3 via bootcamp on OSX 10.5.8. If I map a network drive in a virtual machine XP, I can access is no longer the Mac host.  If I map the drive but share the network as a record disk using vmtools, I can access it from the Mac and XP vm.  Is this a normal behavior?  I would have thought the right way to proceed would be to treat all people as a 'computer' apolitical and connect directly to any external network resource rather than sharing an external resource via the host mac.  I also noticed that my score bootcap 'disappears' from my Mac when vmware is running... It's just for protection?

Thank you

Bruce

Mapped network drives can be mounted to 1 place at one time, then Yes, what you're feeling is normal behavior.

What type of network you are using?  NFS? SMB? AFP?

When you use shared folders, we pass everything through a 'passive' network share to work around this problem (among other reasons), allowing you to access the folder of the host and theguest.

The boot camp partition dismantles the workstation for the same reason... some things can not be mounted at 2 places at the same time.

  • Restrict access to the network on 871 router via mac address

    Hello

    I have a Cisco 871 router and I am trying to allow only specific MAC addresses access to the network. Is there a way to specify that only specific MAC addresses are allowed to access? Any other MAC access will be denied?

    I can either have static IP or DHCP for local machines.

    Can I use this "secure DHCP IP address assignment" details found here... http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2t/12_2t15/feature/guide/ftdsiaa.html ?

    I use these...

    static Mac address table

    OR

    Security table of Mac addresses

    ... to achieve this?

    Thank you.

    You can use "mac-address-table static" If you know all the mac addresses that will be connected.

    If the router is by distributing ip addresses so you can indeed do secure IP DHCP address assignment.

    Note that you can make a 'mac access-list' switch and aplly in any vlan you want.

    Alternatively, you can do "dhcp snooping" allowing guests who got a dhcp ip addresses and are not identity theft.

    I hope it helps.

  • Access to the network bridge works do not (Linux host & comments)

    I am running VMware Player 3.0.1 on Fedora Core 10. (I know this is not one of the host of the OS supported; could this be the problem?)

    I built a virtual machine with a virtual adapter connected by a bridge and am under Fedora Core 10 also in the virtual machine. The virtual machine does not have any network access.

    I followed all the advice of troubleshooting to the Knowledge Base article 1008367 (at http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1008367 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dialogID = 77717080 & stateId = 0% 200% 2077715760) does not.

    On the Linux host, vmnet-bridge is running.

    / dev/vmnet0, / dev/vmnet1 and/dev/vmnet8 all exist.

    However, the Configuration GUI network (under GNOME) lists vmnet1 material devices, vmnet8, eth0 (it's my actual physical network interface), and the so-called pan0.

    On the virtual machine, I think I have configured the network correctly.

    ping an address on my LAN IP said "the network is inaccessible." (The same ping succeeds on the host).

    Clues to understand why the network access doesn't work?

    Ok

    Start by checking that the Fedora 10 vNIC is connected on the audit: VM configuration-> network adapter Bridge-> Connect at power on (must be verified).

    So when the guest of Fedora 10 begins the vNIC should be upward.

    If the eth0 is not upward, you should be able to install and configure then. You can search on the net how to set up the network on a host of Fedora 10. I recommend that you use just the console text to do so.

    Don't forget to configure fedora network depending on the configuration of your LAN (static or dhcp).

    Let me know if it works or not

    Best wishes / Saludos.

  • Access to the hard drive USB network - WAG310G

    Hello.. I have a 500 GB USB hard drive attached to my WAG310G, but it can be accessed from the network. IM using XP Pro.

    Someone suggested to go to start / run and typing \\192.168.1.1\, but I just get an error "the network not found path.

    This seems to be a really hard to find an answer, because I can't find any help on the internet either.

    Help, please!

    See / Kevbb.

    I think that you do not have the possibility to access the drive on the network, but you can use the interface of the router to store your entire network on the USB connected to your router.

    If you have DDNS service, you can manage the storage device using the WAN IP address. To enable WAN HTTP access, you must enable remote access on the Administration > management screen and disable the firewall on the security > firewall screen.

  • I can't use windows Explorer or the network drive mapping to access my NAS drive more.

    original title: strange NAS problem

    Hi everyone I can't seem to fix this strange problem.

    I can't use windows Explorer or the network drive mapping to access my NAS drive more.
    I am running windows 7 Professional 32-bit on my PC, and until about a week ago she accessed from my PC very well.

    The location could not be reached and have not been able to run since said today that I went to update it and the drive mapped. I'm at my wits end.

    Here is some info.

    I can access to other computers and devices on my network.

    I can access the internet.
    I have a windows XP PC in the House who can always connect to my fine NAS drive (even if it's not mine).
    I PING the NAS drive.
    The NAS drive will do the same if connected via cable or by wireless.

    UPDATE: after the implementation of a shared folder on a Windows XP computer on the same network I am also unable to acsess the part of my PC. So I can assume that I can't browse all share folders or NAS drives on my local network.

    Help, please.

    Thanks for the help, but I fixed my problem

    Here's what I did in case anyone wants to know.

    I went into Device Manager and went to network adapters.
    I then expanded this section and under view changed to display hidden items.
    Several hundred elements appears (for most 6to4 adapters) and I deleted all the.
    Then click scan for new hardware.
    And... everything works again! YAY!

  • Can't deleted iPhoto Library the network drive backup

    I made a backup of my library iPhoto on a network drive. Since then, I realized Time Machine made a better job of backing up my iPhoto library. So I planned to remove the library for free space.

    When I try, I get this message:

    "The operation cannot be performed because you have not granted access to some of the elements."

    If I can spend in the library and digging around, I find there are hundreds, maybe thousands of articles where I don't have permission. Y at - it a way to replace that can simply remove the library?

    Which does not imply iPhoto somehow - maybe you can get help from the forum for your operating system, but most likely, you need support from the supplier of the network drive - this is the question is

    I would ask that your post moved to the captain El forum and see if some one can help

    Yesterday, my ethernet cable pulled out my cell phone and I couldn't connect to the internet more. But on my desktop PC, it works perfectly fine. (I do not use wifi, if this information is also required) I have studied several threads with similar situations, and I have tried different methods to solve the problem to no avail. I did a system restore, but I'm having no luck. Also, I did not of the latest changes with my anti virus software and my LAN card drivers look to date.

    When I remove my cable from the laptop and again connect my cable then it works but only after the PC sat for awhile.
    1.I did flush DNS by typing "ipconfig/flushdns" in the command prompt.
    2. my IP address, DNS, subnet mask etc are set to automatic.
    3.I also added physical address taken from command line giving "ipconfig/all". for the properties of the network driver settings.
    4.I ' installed the drivers to date of 2014 on my laptop.
