I have a Standalone XP professional Machine (host) which is not connected to any network. I have created a host (XP professional) using vmware. Pls let me know how to communicate & transfer files between the guest and host.

Pls post the procedure or send it to gd_ganesh@mailcity.com

Use "NAT" or "Host-Only" networking for your virtual machine, NOT bridged.

Enable shared folder on your VM configuration, map as a VM network drive your host shared folder.
