Networking woes again !!!!
Hi there
Why can't Windows Networking just be like Linux - nice GUI to configure SAMBA (or even use S.W.A.T), click on shares and it's done and works every time !!!!.
Strange scenario now with HYPER-V
HOST OS (W10) can access REAL W8.1 machine, and W10 VM running on HYPER-V.
VIRTUAL VM W10 on HYPER-V can access REAL W8.1 Machine but NOT HOST W10 REAL machine (???!!!)
W8.1 REAL machine can access VIRTUAL W10 machine but again not W10 HOST machine (???!!!)
All on same LAN - both W8.1 and the W10's are x-64 Enterprise version.
Something certainly screwed up -- I did two COMPLETE FRESH installs from the ISO.
(Strange situation where the VM can be accessed but NOT the HOST).
My Virtual NIC switch is OK .
HOST and VM (both W10) can access Internet.
I think I'll give this up -- C'mon Ms why not grab those folks at Red Hat or Novell to sort your Windows networking code -- their stuff seems to work straight out of the box).
My main problem with Windows networking (apart from the major fact it doesn't work) is that it's ALWAYS unpredictable -- each boot up or install you can never be sure if it's still going to work !!!!
Cheers
