OK, 98 Guy, I'll check this thread again tomorrow.


Nothing much new to report, other than we've confirmed that a shared
folder (full read/write access, no password) on the win-98 virtual
machine can be seen and accessed by the host win-7 system.

Just to confirm - we have “Windows Virtual PC” (aka XP Mode, successor
to Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, Microsoft Virtual PC 2004, and Connectix
Virtual PC)

The Vpc.exe version is 6.1.7601.17514 dated: Nov 20, 2010.


That seems to be the only way to share anything between Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (Not Windows 7 Virtual PC nor XP-Mode) running Windows 98se virtual machines and Windows 7/64-bit Ultimate. I guess I will just have to live with that fact; but it would be nice if everything operated in the normal networking sense, where all machines in the 'Entire (virtual) Network' were visible and could interact with each other. I have no problem networking virtual W98SE machines locally within MVPC-2007, and no problem with Virtual Machine Additions 2004 or 2007 Share Folders; I just have a problem with networking Windows 98se to/from Windows 7 on the "Entire Network."
