Accessing directory/files on host

Hello!

I have now created a Windows XP Client (Thanks to all that helped me) and I
want to create a map to a directory on the host.

The network seem to work, I can access Internet, but I can't access shared
folders on my Workgroup.

In the dialog for Map Network Drive - Folder, I can't enter anything using
the keyboard.

The client and the host is in the same workgroup.

I have unchecked Use simple file sharing

Anyone that has a clue on what I have done wrong or haven't done?

Are you using Shared networking or the actual NIC, under the VM's
networking. For what you want to do, you cannot use Shared
Networking.

Hello Steve,

Check this and it was configured to the actual NIC.
During the check of this I realized that I had to make the directory shared
in the settings of VM not using Explorer. After I did this everything
works.

Yeah, I know RTFM... ;-)

Thanks for your help, without it I have never made this work.
