Message: What sort of problems did you have with using a loopback adapter? It works
fine for me.
If you install a Microsoft loopback adapter in the host and link the NIC
in the guest to the loopback option you effectively have two machines in the
same network. All you need to do is give them IP addresses in the same IP
subnet.

Message: Well if you have network connectivity it is not a VPC problem or a TCP/IP
problem. You have to use normal network sharing debugging methods. Is
Netbios over TCP/IP enabled on the interfaces of both machines? Can you
ping by name? Are the two machines in the same workgroup? Have you run the
network setup wizard? Have you shared the folder?
