Hi,
I want to use VMware to set up an ASP.NET development environment. My host
runs Windows XP and my Virtual Machine is running Win Server 2003. The
question is how can I get the 2 operating systems communicating with each
other?
I would like to have Visual Studio installed on the host but my
website/database running on my VM. I would like to share files between the
operating systems by mapping a drive from the host e.g. \\devserver\c$ . I
would like to access the website running on the VM on the host i.e.
http://devserver/whatever.aspx .Also my VM needs access to the internet
through the connection on the host.
I was using VMware server but I couldn't even share files between the os's
as it had no support for Shared Folders. Is VMware workstation a better
choice to achieve this or is it just dependent on how I configure win XP and
win 2003? Can anyone give me some pointers as to what sort of configuration
I need and where I can start?
Thanks in advance.
