I have a Mac Snow leopard as host and Windows XP as guest. I need my music files to be kept on the guest but I want to access those files from my host to use them on itunes. How do I access my files on the guest from the host?

Over virtual network via bridge adapter. The windows guest must share a directory.

I read it and I set it up. I chose ethernet as the connection because it said airport doesn't work on it. But now what. I don't know how to connect the two. And my guest doesn't have internet anymore?

Never mind, it showed up in my network places and in shared folders. I gave my guest two adapters. One (NAT) for the internet and one with the network bridge. Thanks for the help.
