virtualbox.org

Hello,

I have VirtualBox 4.3.20 running on a Linux Host (OpenSuSE 13.1). Inside VirtualBox is Win7 Professional installed.
Now I want to access my Samba server which is outside (true additional hardware not on the Linux box) but unfortunatelly the Samba Server is not seen by my Win 7 inside VirtualBox.

I use bridget network mode.
My Win 7 (192.168.0.110) is in the same network as the Samba server (192.168.0.2). From Win7 I have access to the Internet that means port 8080 works but the Samba ports don't.

More then a year ago it worked but in similar conditions but now it doesn't and I don't know the reason for it.

The Samba server is running fine, because from a true Win 7 client running on directly on some hardware it is seen.

Do You have any recommendations?

Thank You in advance

Wolfgang

What can I say? Win7 is Win7. If it has access to a network which implements Windows Networking, then Win7 will have network access. There must be a problem with your network configuration - unfortunately the number of possible networking problems is infinite. Hopefully you are at least using DHCP and not trying to configure everything manually.

This topic let me suspect mainly about network setting, so I suggest some keywords of topics:

• I guess you can ping IP to each client?
• give net use a try, instead explorer browse network.
• check option about Use 128-bit encryption file sharing.
• check for LAN Manager authentication level, ntlmv2 or lm...

That might be misleading. Ping (ICMP) responses are disabled/firewalled in Windows 7 by default.
