Hello,

Iam using vmware 4.0 and 3 virtual machines on it running Windows server2003. I have however failed to share folders between the three machines.

I thought right clicking the folder and selecting sharing and security would do but this option isnt available.

Kindly help.

Thanks.

Enable the fileserver role in the guest OS.
Also check guest firewall configuration and verify that you can access at administrative shares (\\name\c$ for example).
