Make XP P2P shared folders

I have two computers on a network using the P2P architecture.  I created shared folders on both computers.  Why only administrators can access the two shared folders on XP?

Users generally are able to see one way the two will not both.

Hi AnnPThompson,

I would have you look at this article that has more information on Peer-to-Peer network environment. Please go through the documentation and see if it answers some of your questions.

In addition, for more information, take a look at this.

Thank you!

  • How to reset the shared folders, showing network after modified/deleted folder

    System: Windows Vista 64-bit

    Problem: after files moved or modified, they persist in network folder, for example:\\my-pc\

  • Shared folders / printer is no longer available

  • How to force the shared folders to work?

    I have Windows 10 host and guest OS Windows 7. I have Visual Studio is installed on Windows 7 comments, and I'm trying to compile code that is located in the shared folders that I go up as network drive.

    When I try to do this with Visual Studio 2013, library file contains all zeros (binary, I see it in hex editor). It's a bug of folder for sure, because otherwise (no folders) compilations is OK.

    Is it possible to fix this bug and force the shared folders to do what they promised, i. e. to share files between the host and the guest operating system and do not write all zeros in the output file?

    Hello

    Not really, these types of problems hit the option files shared for many years.

    Workshares of files for simple file sharing, but if you want to use as the project file in Visual Studio, then what you see is not really surprising.

    Yes you can troubleshoot it and spent a lot of time trying to make it work. Which may or may not work.

    However, the General recommendation is to use industry standard file sharing shares - for example native Windows - instead of construction option of share if you want to use for this type of scenario.

    A common alternative is to develop locally within the virtual machine and share it with other computers using source control systems.

  • Shared folders and Windows November 10 update

    Since "redevelopment" of the update of Windows 10 November, my shared folders do not work.  I had hoped that upgrading 8.1 Fusion is going to fix it but it didn't.

    Basically I enable shared folders, such as Documents and downloads, I can access it from the link on the desktop.  However, I don't get my y and Z: drives I was doing.  In addition, at the opening of the Explorer there suddenly from 30 to 60 seconds while he was apparently trying to find these discs.

    If I turn off sharing, the Explorer is fast and never crashes.

    I tried unisntalling/reinstalling VMWare tools, but it makes no difference.  I have to leave shared folders disabled to have a usable virtual machine.

    Any thoughts on how to fix this so that it works as it did before the November update?

    Hello

    Strange uninstall - reboot - install VMware Tools has been working flawlessly down here to solve a similar problem.

    There are a few things you can try.

    First check the registry that you do not:

    All you have to do is to change the registry

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order

    Name: ProviderOrder

    Type: REG_SZ

    Data: "RDPNP, LanmanWorkstation,webclient"

    He should have "vmhgfs" for the first option:

    Data: "vmhgfs,RDPNP, LanmanWorkstation,webclient"

    Second, try to re-create the shares.

    Remove them, turn off sharing, close the dialog box for sharing and then re - open the dialog box and try sharing once more and add the old shares in return.

    Yet another thing you can do is to disable the folder change event notification.

    The side effect of this is you will need to click Refresh in Windows Explorer to see a change, he could stop the slowness of your Explorer.

    While I use it myself I do not recommend for most users.

    isolation.tools.hgfs.notify.enable = "FALSE"

    See also: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2011360

    Finally, I also see the hosts host file sharing slow down when there was a ton of files and anti-virus analysis actively sharing files.

    At least disable the scan compressed files.

  • Bug report: strange behavior with sharing folders Mac & PHP require (8 VMware)

    I'm using VMware Fusion 8.0.0 (2985594) on Mac OS Yosemite (10.10.5 (14F27)) and I have a Linux VM with Debian Wheezy (3.2.0 - 4-amd64) and PHP (5.4.41 - 0 + deb7u1).

    After I've upgraded from VMware Fusion 7 WMware Fusion 8, the (open source CMS) Typo3 on my development machine began to throw PHP syntax errors during playback of its cache files. As I investigated the problem I found that the behavior is reproducible, but only when the files are written to the folder that is shared between the host system and the VM.

    When I'm demanding a PHP a certain file size and a certain name of file, PHP seems to continue reading about the end of the file in the middle of the arbitrariness of other files. This leads mainly to errors in syntax PHP - but according to the name of the file that they differ, for example:

    PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '' in require284.php on line 93
PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '' in require107.php on line 88
^[[APHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected 'p' in require472.php on line 88
PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected end of file in require884.php on line 88
PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected 'u' in require185.php on line 89

    All of these errors are generated by requiring the same content with different file names. If I am demanding the same file with the same name, the PHP error is also the same.

    Steps to reproduce

    I wrote a PHP script that seeks a different file names for a given text, until it crashes. Store this file in the shared folder and run it with php f. As you can see, all the content of the file is commented out, so it shouldn't affect anything.

    <?php
$content = <<<'EOT'

    This problem occurs only for the upgrade of VMware 8 and only when the script runs in the shared folders, I strongly suspect that it is a problem within the VMware stack.

    Can anyone elso reproduce this behavior?

    Hello

    If you use the kernel of an open-vm-tools HGFS customer then yes there are bugs because the version provided with that was broken and not tested. People has not listened to my complaints about it.

    Current recommended approach is to always use the installation of VMware tools for the shared folders feature.

    Open-vm-tools are used to install tools user mode only. We try to make all of the features available with these, including a file sharing client FUSE based. Version 10 of the open-vm-tools will have this.

    Stick with VMware tools install for now for file sharing.

    Thanks for your great art information and debugging this issue.

    The filesystem (vmhgfs module) driver is used only for the shared folder

    feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work

    regardless of this function.

    If you want the shared folders feature, you can install the driver of

    running vmware-config - tools.pl once after being assured that gcc, binutils, make

    and your kernel sources are installed on your computer.

    These packages are available on the installation of your distribution CD.

    [Press the Enter key to continue]

    Seems to work fine with the tools in the recent update to VMware Fusion 6.0.3:

    http://www.VMware.com/go/downloadfusion

    Certainly the tools should be updated in order to support a view recent guests of Ubuntu Unity (disabled, sofar, also with 6.0.3 + 14.04): maybe in Fusion 6.1, who knows...

  • Shared folders is longer supported?

    I am able to mount a shared folder, but the folder is not usable. Instead, a "Not a directory" error. For example:

    # ls-l/mnt/hgfs

    method: cannot open the directory/mnt/hgfs: not a directory


    This problem has been reported previously to Re: problem module vmhgfs vmware-tools workstation 9.0.3 inspired 3.13.5 - 103 kernel fedora 19

    and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1272196/ .

    "The vmhgfs module (host VMWare <>- Comments file system)" is no longer supported by VMWare and it builds on recent kernels.".


    Is it, in fact, true? Shared folders is longer supported?


    If so, what are the alternatives (other than NFS, Samba, SSHFS, etc.)?





    Hello @rasa

    Unfortunately, I can't make an official statement from VMware, but I think you're wrong interpret this answer.

    The problem is that the distribution of VMware tools is a bit 'complex', the reason is actually to simplify things and have all of the drivers in VMware conveyed by the respective kernel developers and linux distributions.

    There are 3 different "tracks".

    1 Linux "inbox" drivers, for example. the drivers that are part of the kernel / linux distributions, these include, network driver vmxnet3, pvscsci driver, memory balloon pilot, vmwgfx 3d graphics driver, drivers vmci and vsock, see also: KB VMware: VMware for Linux VMware Windows support

    Down on this page you can find the part that responds to your question:

    Why a version of an operating system do not include the vmhgfs driver?

    The vmhgfs driver has been added upstream. To work around this situation, install VMware Tools provided with the workstation or Fusion products, who will install the lack vmhgfs drivers. The VMware Tools installer does not disturb VMware Windows included with the operating system.

    2 open-vmware-tools drivers, these are extra libraries extending the features. This used to contain everything that in the past but parts have been moved to inbox drivers and the part you are looking for drivers - vmhgfs - is part of the supply of office products. See also: KB VMware: VMware to open-vm-tools support

    3. the vmware tools bundled package. This is where you find the vmhgfs driver, your problem is now that you are trying to use Ubuntu 14.04 and that the OS is not out yet (next month). I installed it without any customization here, and while I can list the mount point, that is not to have the shared folder. Drag & drop between guests however works. I'll take a look at why it does not list the part after the OS is updated to the most recent (update has not since last week)

    hope this helps,

    --

    Wil

    Edit: FWIW I reinstalled the vmware tools and he has indeed missed out on the vmhgfs driver. While I can probably patch (errors appear quite trivial) I'm not in that much of a need and prefer to wait that Ubuntu has released faithful and VMware has updated the vmware tools. For now I just use drag & drop as mentioned above.

  • Workstation 9. impossible to mount shared folders

    If I run

    $ Mount-t vmhgfs .host: / mnt/hgfs /.

    I get an error message saying that the device does not exist.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled vmware tools several times and also tried the open-vm-toolbox to see if it will work, but so far nothing has worked.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can't see the shared folders in WIn 8.1 comments.

    I'm using VMware Workstation 10.0.1 and I earn 8.1 as my host OS.

    When I set up a VM 7 Win, shared folders are working as expected, but with a VM 8.1 Win I can't find folders in Explorer.  Also, I tried to access it via \\vmware-host and \\.host without success.

    How can I see the shared folders in a Win 81 guest VM?

    Thank you!

    Hey Psi,

    I had a similar problem. Worked fine on Windows 8.0, but after modernized this VM for Windows 8.1, the shared folder feature has stopped working. Only after the reinstallation of VMware Tools, it worked again.

    Please note that a 'fix' on VMware Tools installation does not provide it, only a complete uninstall/reboot/install/reboot sequence makes this feature back to life for me.

    Hope this helps,

  • vmrun shared folders and

    I tried almost all of the combinations that I can get and the web search (and especially these forums) for a response, so I apologize if that's the answer somewhere.

    I'm trying to use virtual machines to run my compilations automated nightly and other compilations. of course, I have to use vmrun. What I can't seem to make it work using a shared folder to access the source files. I know that is the problem and not the mechanic that I use to start the compilations because I can copy the source to the virtual computer and use the same procedure and it works.

    Here is the proposed process:

    vmrun start < vmx > nogui

    Sleep.bat 240 (batch file for ping n %1, etc., to expect that the VM comes well enough)

    echo net use Y: '\\vmware-host\Shared Folders\job_share' /p:no > C:\run\run_net.bat

    vmrun t ws - gu < user > gp - < pass > copyFileFromHostToGuest < vmx > C:\run\run_net.bat C:\run\run_net.bat

    vmrun t ws - gu < user > gp - < pass > runProgramInGuest < vmx > C:\run\run_net.bat

    echo of Ant-f Y:\build.xml > C:\run\run_ant.bat

    vmrun t ws - gu < user > gp - < pass > copyFileFromHostToGuest < vmx > C:\run\run_ant.bat C:\run\run_ant.bat

    vmrun t ws - gu < user > gp - < pass > runProgramInGuest < vmx > C:\run\run_ant.bat

    vmrun stop < vmx > soft

    I tried to use enableSharedFolders and addSharedFolder. I read somewhere that you need to map the folder "net use". I tried to run with - interactive and - activeWindow, once again read somewhere that - interactive uses different processes to enable shared folders that are already enabled in the VMX, but when I use - interactive to run Ant batch file, it the error that the user must be connected in interactive mode.

    Technically, I could copy the sources on the virtual computer files before compiling and it works. but there are many, many source files it is not practical. I don't know there is something I'm missing, but I am at a loss as to what. Help, please.

    There is no need to map the shared folder. the UNC path is available after you have enabled the shared folder for the customer.

    -interactive and - activewindow requires a user connects. You use Autologon to have a connection to the virtual machine? Oterwise, leave the settings

  • Fusion 5 / win 8 - shared folders

    I upgraded from Fusion 2 to 5 on a MacBook Pro which has Win XP SP3. Downloaded and installed the Win 8 upgrade package. Changed the Windows 8 operating system, but could not access the Internet. Thanks to a post of WoodyZ I had that solved this morning by adding a line in the .vmx file.

    Another problem I have to solve is that with this combination of VM/Win8, I do not see the shared folders on my Mac that I used to be able to do with the old configuration. Suggestions as to what is needed to make these records appear when I bring to the top of the file Windows Explorer?

  • Is it me? Fusion on Snow Leopard, Ubuntu 10.10: no network, none of the shared folders.

    On my Macbook, I use VMWare Fusion course and installed Ubuntu 10.10, which worked pretty well. I'm not an expert in everything, I use Ubuntu only for very limited use and do not plan to make my standard OS, but in this case, I have no choice. For this work, I need to share files, copy and paste text and use the network.

    But from the beginning, I have these problems:

    #1: whenever I send the virtual machine to sleep and wake up more later he acknowledges no more network connection.

    #2: I share a folder on my Mac OS but I can't see them in Ubuntu. To be exact, I can only see the public folders from Mac users, but not those that I added.

    #3: copy / paste between Mac and Ubuntu does not work.

    Then I looked through the menu and found that VMWare Tools are not installed, then I started the installation via the menu. The only result is that a CD of VMWare tools is downloaded and installed - and then nothing happens. There is a text "manifest.txt" file that contains version information and an archive that contains a Setup program. If I double-click on that one I am wondering with what application I want to open it. Very funny... I don't know how to use it.

    Any suggestions for a beginner?

    In the VmWare Fusion menu, I choose the folders that are on Mac and decide if he is reading only or read and write.

    Looks like you use folders shared HGFS and involved getting up from different Windows and Linux handle this. In Linux, look under/mnt/hgfs to find the HGFS folder shared.

    I just changed one in Mac OS shared, everyone is allowed to read and write. Now I can see the content from Ubuntu. But I certainly don't want to share with all the members of my network. This folder is NOT in the list of folders that are common between Mac and Ubuntu, it is shared over the network, but not through VMWare.

    OS X folders behave differently from HGFS shared - folders they use different protocols and transport mechanisms.

  • Sharing folders works does not in 3.0

    I upgraded to 2.0.6 to 3.0 without any apparent problem (OS X 10.5.8, MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHZ, 3 GB RAM, XP Pro SP3) image of Parallels.

    However, when I try to access my shared folders in my network places, I get the message ".
    . Host/shared files is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. The system cannot find the specified file. »

    As suggested in another thread, I tried to uninstall and then install VMWare Tools, with the accompaniment of restarting the virtual machine and OS X, but nothing helped. I also tried to add a new shared folder in the Virtual Machine & gt; Settings & gt; Sharing and have checked to make sure that I am connected to XP as an administrator (as in OS X).

    I'll be very grateful for any help-

    Thank you

    If the Explorer window opens the shared folder and your Mac files are here, so folders are working properly.  Is this not your topic (shared folders does not)?

    If you want to fix your Favorites shared folders network icon, click the old .host icon and delete it, then click on the link 'Add network place' under the networking and follow the wizard to replace your place to network for shared folders.  Copy the address in the Windows Explorer window and paste it into the section "address network or the Internet.  This will complete replacing the old obsolete icon by the new.

  • OLIVIER - Informatica - meaning of shared folders

    When you customize the mappings of Informatica coming out of the box with OBIA, I know by the guides of configuration that we are supposed to create a folder custom_sde or custom_silos first and then copy the maps/sessions/workflow before making any changes.

    My question is, should copy us all objects above so that they are not shortcuts to the shared objects in the original records of sde and silos? My guess is not and that we need to copy the objects in the folders customized so that they are their own and are NOT the original folders shortcuts.

    If this is the case, then why are the original out of the box configuration files in shared folders... What is the signifigance and the intent here?

    Thank you

    k

    Yes. This approach is correct. Once tested, make changes in DAC (task - name of the folder), so that it runs from the custom folder, no OOTB folder.
