In your case, adding these lines, if not already present, to your VMX file. The person with the issue stated that these settings resolved the issue. They suggested trying these settings to see if they affect Player. I found another person having the same difficulty and in response someone noted that setting the previously mentioned options in Workstation makes the following entries to the. I didn't have to mess with SMB1 (I know I have it disabled on host, not sure on VM).Įdit: VM had all SMB1 options enabled, so that's fine with me, all works and this is actually a better way. JimboThank you, all I had to do was change the VM setting from NAT to Bridged Networking and my shared DL folder was available under networking in quick view. This often causes problems on home networks.
#Parallels bridged network grayed out windows
On the VM windows machine though ensure SMB1 is enabled via Windows features -in the Windows control panel - and it's also better to have SMB1 enabled in the HOST as well (again via control panel ->turn windows features on or off).Īfter 1809 SMB1 is disabled by default. Why not simply use basic Windows file sharing then the VM is simply another machine and you can suse things like file explorer to copy files between the machines - ensure the Windows VM is "Network visible" - Bridged Networking" in the VMWare settings rather than NAT and ensure all relevant HDD's / directories are shareable on all the windows systems.
I have used VMware for yrs I think this only happened once and all that was is a reboot fixed it.Hi EdKiefer I was working fine back in 1809 so its only last few weeks max. I do use O$O shutup win10 privacy app but I don't see anything that would hinder, or any windows services. I am not using any programs to copy/paste, just system to system (tried copy/paste from right-click context menu, also tried to drag an drop). Hi, thanks for the reply, I am using win10 pro-1903 for host and win10 home 1903 for guests. I have used VMware for yrs I think this only happened once and all that was is a reboot fixed it.
PS: I am a windows guy, I don't know Linux or any non windows OS I am just trying to move files from host to VM guest desktop, well any folder.
#Parallels bridged network grayed out free
I am using the free version of VMware player, latest version 12.1. It copy/paste the field is grayed out on the guest VM and drag an drop shows a gray circle with a cross.Īlso forgot to mention flash drive doesn't show up in MV guest but honestly I am not 100% this worked before. JimboHi, thanks for the reply, I am using win10 pro-1903 for host and win10 home 1903 for guests. More info on your setup might help though to identify the problem I don't bother with specific shared / public folders - I share all the Linux HDD's I need to via SAMBA and that works perfectly.
I find things like ksnapshot / kwrite / dolphin (on KDE plasma workspace - equiv in ubuntu / gnome desktop would be any screen capture / edit program / file browser) and general applications like the GIMP have no problems when being pasted into typical Windows applications - I'm running CENTOS 7.5 with KDE plasma workspace as a GUI on a spare HP envy laptop as a test server with various Windows VM's and can't say I've ever had problems cutting and pasting with VMWare between Guests and HOST for ages now - back even further than release 12 !!!. I'm also using VMWare workstation rel 15.1. What application are you using on Host and Guest to cut and paste from / to. What Host are you using and what guest is running.
