Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a host OS of Vista, I have Win Srv 2003 of the guest. I have pretty much no network experiance and I urgently need to transfer some files. (I can't believe you can't drag/drop!!!)<br />
<br />
I have attached the network settings for the host and guest and know they are wrong. Please, please, please can you walk me through how to set up the network so I can share files. (Please treat me like an idiot! I have no clue!)<br />
<br />
Many thanks,<br />
<br />

Connecting host and guest

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.
