Virtual PC network

Nov 2nd, 2007

I'm trying to work with Virtual PC, but there are several files that i have in my host OS (Windows XP) that i need in my Virtual Machine (Linux Debian)... so, i need to create a shared file or a network or anything...

In my case, I just changed the settings for the VM and told it to use my actual network card. It then appeared to windows as a machine on the network like usual, asfter i set up samba

thats wierd. It doesnt see it as the real network card, you know that right?

e.g my PC physically has a wifi card but linux just sees an emulated 10/100 ethernet card
