LAN and printers issue

Post by ludimasinac »

Hi,

I'm having problem with guest win xp machine (win 7 host).
First, on guest I'm not able to ping any other PCs on LAN and second, printer are not available.
I've tried with setting network card from NAT to Bridge.
Is there some explanation or walkthrough for this kind of problem.

So, I think if I solve this problem with LAN than i'll be able to install TCP\IP printers also.

Thanks.

Use Bridged (if there is a router in the network) and check for firewall/virus software issues.

Do I need FTP cable connection from host to router?
Because my host PC is on wireless in LAN.

I've made it.

Thank you very much.

It was problem with my wireless card and I managed it with transfering it to FTP.
