Browing Guest files on host

Post by CAMF111 »

I have a Mac running Lion as the host and windows vista as the Guest OS. I want to be able to brews the Vista files on my mac. I can get it to work the other way round, but can someone explain a nt too complicated way to do it. Thanks in Advance, CAMF111! :D

You would need to use Bridged if you have a router, or host-only as a second adapter in the guest if not.
See Chapter 6 in your VirtualBox users manual.
