I setup an working Windows 98 (first edition) installation within VirtualBox 4.1.12. Network and graphiccard works fine. But I have trouble with mounting VirtualBox net shares.
First I tried \\vboxsvr\sharename
but Windows says it couldn't find the "object". Then I open command
and searched for my gateway within ipconfig
. With the IP address I tried \\10.0.2.2\share
but the error message is the same as my first try.
Does anybody have successful mounted an VirtualBox net share within Windows 98?
1I assume you need to install Guest Additions, which don't work on Win98. Try bridging the 98 VM to your network and accessing a network share, instead. – ta.speot.is – 2012-04-04T09:21:51.753
@ta.speot.is: Your assumption is quite correct, you may want to post that as an answer. Note that Win98 doesn't install TCP/IP support by default, this needs to be configured after install. – Piskvor left the building – 2012-04-04T09:30:01.270
