Hello,
My guest operating system is Windows XP SP2.
One of my VM's is Windows Server 2003.
The second one is Windows Server 2008.
The two OS's are in the same WG2 workgroup (no domain).
Each VM OS can ping the other one, by ip address or computer name.
For me, this means that the two computers are on the same network and each one can see the other one.
I want to share one folder in the WS 2003 WM.
The share is created.
The WS2003 and the WS2008 have the 'File and printers sharing' service installed.
On the WS2008 VM, in the Microsoft Network/WG2 workgroup, only the current computer WS2008 is visible, not the WS2003.
On the WS2003 VM, in the Microsoft Network/WG2 workgroup, there is nothing and when I try to expand it, I get the error message "WG2 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource...".
Of course, I'm logged as the admin on both computers.
And, of course when I try to connect my shared WS2003 folder inside the WS2008 system, the WS2003 is unreachable.
So, where am I wrong, and why the WG2 workroup is forbidden is the WS2003 OS (never be faced with such a behaviour) ?
Thanks.
