Cannot share files between the host and the VM

Hi all

I have a host running a virtual machine running XP and Vista.   I set up both windows file sharing, put both machines in the same workgroup and created a user account on both institutions. However I can't see shared folders on each machine.

On the computer host vista, I'm completely unable to see the XP VM.   But the XP machine, I see the host in my network places, but when I click it I get the followign message.


& lt; host & gt; is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access.

The network path was not found.

Not sure if the problem is a problem with the settings of Windows network or something related to VMware.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Paul

Firewalls? Can you ping the host from the client and vice versa? Http://maquetland.com/v2/index.php?page=vision type of networking is the prompt - light, only or NAT host?

  • Unable to connect to use Windows XP mode on a Virtual Machine, cannot share files between the Virtual Machine and host

    Because of the need to run some XP programs, I ordered Win7 Pro and installed a Virtual Machine with XP Mode.

    Managed to get it going somehow, but does not connect to my home network (can't see any other computers, which seems to be common with the host of Win 7, but here, I managed to install quick links to other computers - they will not work in XP Mode), even if the Internet connection is working perfectly.

    In addition, I can't find a way to share files with the host country, drive C appears to be different from that of the hosts with no common points (where it is currently stored beats me).

    I can access a USB key, but only at a price to make it unavailable to the host and the attempt to release his capture when running XP Mode failed.

  • How to share files between Windows XP and Windows 7 without password?

    Hey guys, I want to share files between windows 7 and windows XP. I don't want to put the password on my Windows 7 or Windows XP account. I am going on my Windows XP perfectly shared files from Windows 7, but I am not able to go on my files of windows 7, the cause of my XP he asks user name and password. I enter the user name and it does not accept it if I make a password for my windows 7 and enter as the user name... I don't know what to do guys any help?

    Windows 7 only WILL NOT allow you to share files without a password, it's all just a common sense safety requirement.  It of a very bad practice to run your Windows installations with a null value, a password, give your facility a valid password.

    The simplest around your problem is to create an account with the same names and passwords on each machine and so typed the password when the connection is too a problem allow AutoLogon on the machines.

  • Cannot share files between two computers.

    I want to be able to share files between my computer and my wife we have a home network and I can see the file sharing is enabled.   When I go to the networks in Explorer:
    1. I see her computer
    2. He asks me a username and password.  What is my user name or his.
    3. password?  Is the WiFi password, the home page group passes, my password of the computer or its password to the computer.

    I have not found a combination that works.   I need to get this working so that we can both use Quickbooks. It would be useful for many other exchanges of files we currently do by e-mail.    Note that we have no problem to access two network printers, or send files to a print server that manages our tracer.

    Hello

    Sorry for the late reply.

    Method 1

    I suggest leaving the homegroup and see if it helps.

    Leave a homegroup

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/leave-a-HomeGroup

    After that I suggest you refer to the procedure described in the following article and join in Group once more.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows/HomeGroup-help#HomeGroup-start-to-finish=Windows-7&V1H=win81tab1&V2H=win7tab1

    Method 2

    I suggest you to temporarily disable the anti-virus by following the link below and check the State.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

     

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Please let us know if the problem persists. We will be happy to help you further.

  • I need to share files between windows xp and Windows 7

    I am unable to share files between Windows XP Home Edition and Windows 7 Ultimate edition

    I have a wireless router and my two computers are connected on it.

    Please give me detailed guidelines on how to share files between them.

    Here are the steps of general network troubleshooting. Just cannot apply to your situation, so just take the bits that are. It may seem daunting, but if you follow the steps in the links and suggestions below calmly and consistently, you will have no difficulty to implement your sharing.

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, running on Windows 7 sharing files and printer as above will take care of this for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

    Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    D. Si one or more of the computers on your network are XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory.

    F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

  • How to share files between elements Organizer and Premiere Elements?

    Hello

    Since many years and versions of first and Photoshop Elements, I enjoyed the use of video in elements Organizer, projects when a new project was created under the Premiere Elements. I currently used this function up to the Version 11 of first and Photoshop Elements.

    Since my last update to version 14 of these two software, this feature doesn't seem to be present more. Indeed when I create a new project from Premiere Elements and fill it with video files:

    • either by dragging from the organizing elements in Premiere Elements
    • or importing video, Premiere Elements files.

    no new category of Album (usually called by the title of the video project) appears in the left column of the elements Organizer. Help files to the extent where have not been useful, even distinguish it: FBUS.html https://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/using/using-elements-organizer-premiere-element

    Does anyone have a clue on the procedure of enabeling once again this important feature under the first items 14 and 14 elements Photoshop?

    I currently running Windows 7Pro, 64B. During the installation of Photoshop elements 14, I converted version of catalogs items Organizer version 14, using the automatic procedure 11. Neither first nor Photoshop elements 11 are more active on this computer. Suspecting a "bug" in update of organizing elements version 11 to 14, I made as a result of unsuccessful attempts:

    • I created a new project video with first items 14 and added video files using the dragging organizing elements 14 first 14 elements
    • I created a new project video with first items 14 and added video files using the software import feature.

    In both cases, it has failed to create a new folder in my albums, my video projects with the name of the newly created in Premiere Elements project.

    I hope to receive assistance on this issue which is very important when choosing a video footage of a very large number of video files to the creation of a new video.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Hello world!

    Quick question here: is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?

Both users are admin one and file sharing is allowed in system preferences... I have to admit that I use 10.9.5 because my MacBook Pro would not work with OS Xs national parks.

  • IX4 - 300 d - cannot copy files between actions or the ext disk. USB

    Hi forum!

    I can't work for the life of me how to move files between the shares on the NAS. I can access my computer fine actions. I have a USB HARD drive connected to the front USB port and I want to copy some files from the HARD drive to a shared folder on the NAS, but when I'm in the content browser that I have no option to copy, and there is no functionality of drag - move. That I going nuts or something blatantly obvious lack?

    I want to copy data from USB directly as it is a few TB of data and copying on the LAN will take ages. It's going to be a regular thing, but I can't really put in place a copy job, because it is not the same type of data or file locations every time.

    1 person needs an answer

    You can share files between all of these systems. It is difficult for me to what you wrote if you want to share files with Windows 7 in OS X machine, but I have included this information in case you do. Because Vista is installed in training Camp, I have only included Win7 OS X sharing files and not Vista-OS X sharing files since you can't use both at the same time.

    On Windows

With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range.
