After mounting Shared folder in guest OS the net use command reports the Staus as "Unavailable"

[hrushipatil]

Hello,

I am using Win XP service pack 2 as a guest OS on Win XP service pack 2 host OS with the VmPlayer 2.5.1 build-126130.

I have used the the VmPlayer to Share a folder on the Host to Guest and have mapped "[file://
.host\Shared] Folders" to drive letter.

when I run the net use coomad i get the status for this particular share as unavailable.

I like to know how the path get resolved .?

Thanks in advance!

The VMware Shared Folders feature does NOT use standard Windows networking, so the net use commands will NOT work. The Shared Folders feature uses the backdoor via some processes that the VMware Tools services provide.
