As a very much below average user I will try that right now. Windows 7, new Laptop, previous laptop was Vista based, so this could take a bit of time. Now 9:16 Going into Windows control panel first; Troubleshooting>Network & Internet>Incoming connections :::: gets to some sort of automated troubleshooter script, nothing asking me what I am trying to do, no clues about what is being blocked or where. Interesting... If I click on the advanced button it asks if I want to run as administrator, which I then clicked and one of the network adapters that it offered to diagnose is "Virtual Box Host-Only Network". OK, that didn't find a problem, but of course there isn't one, I am looking for a way through a block that the troubleshooter probably regards as "good". I got a network troubleshooting log file, it has details of the connection as a header, then all the usual MS nonsense about trying a different cable, switching things off, waiting 30 seconds, switching back on, etc. I think this is going nowhere.
Ahh, Windows Firewall>Allowed Programs :::brings me to a window that offers "Allow another Program" in the bottom right corner, I clicked on that and selected "Oracle VM Virtual Box" which then appeared in the table with local checked and public unchecked. If this is all I need - now 9:43 (with commentary 27 minutes). This might be useful to me, it might even get the shared folders thang to work (-: As I said, this is a NEW laptop and I am new to Windoze7. I shall now go into my virtual machines to see if they can see the host's shared folders. FWIW, etc. On Jan 10, 7:41 am, mmarco <mma...@unizar.es> wrote: > I have no contact with windows systems at all, so i don't know how is > the real situation right now. > > Is it usual that windows systems come with port 8000 firewalled?
