Re: [9fans] vmware shared folders
next week I will help, I wrote CICS so I should be able to sort it out. I am on holiday at the moment so I cannot do much now but sympathise. -Steve On 28 Aug 2016, at 09:16, Skip Tavakkolian <9...@9netics.com> wrote: >> * boxB doesn't see no boxA shared folders. > > i would start there. once it's fixed, it will most likely fix the > problem on plan9 side too. > >> Coud the one guilty be the Win7-64 on BoxA ? > > my motto is: when in doubt, blame windows; so probably yes. >

Re: [9fans] vmware shared folders
my motto is: when in doubt, blame windows; so probably yes. Pure truth ... In the meantime I've installed VMware 9.0.4 on Win7-32. All works as expected using the same Plan9.iso. Plan 9 sees local and remote Win7-32 shared folders. This probably confirm that the problem is Win7-64. Or, perhaps my Win7-64 despite being an official release. adriano
