Virtual Explorer going crazy

Source: microsoft.public.virtualpc
Sent: 05/14/2009
From: Vincent Fatica <abuse@localhost>
Message:

I haven't been with VPC long. Host = XPProSP3, Guest = VistaUltimate,
additions installed. I export my "Apps" drive as the guest's Z:. If,
in the guest, I roam around that drive long enough (usually under a
minute) digging 2 or 3 levels into folders, inevitably, the guest's
Explorer goes crazy, using 99% CPU (according to the guest's TaskMgr).
The host is at 50% CPU. If I continue, most of the time the guest's
Explorer just restarts, unceremoniously; occasionally I get a message
box saying that Explorer "has stopped working" and prompting me to
restart it. Details show APPCRASH at offset 65A20 in NTDLL.DLL. Any
ideas? Thanks.

What "same network" are they on? The internet interface does not bind

Well, I couldn't do it "over the internet" because that interface
doesn't run "Server". But (to my surprise) I simply did "net use ..."
specifying the host's LAN IP and it worked.

As Jane says, this is standard networking and, as such, nothing to do with
Virtual PC per se...

Share a folder on the host and then map a drive to it from the guest like
you would with any two physical machines on the same network...

Whatever one you add them to - this is not a Virtual PC issue per se...

If you had two physical machines and wanted them to communicate, how would
you do it?

It's the same with one virtual machine and one physical machine, or two
virtual machines...
