Folks,
On my Windows 7 box, I have both VMWare Workstation 8 as well as VirtualBox installed.
The Windows box has a shared directory.
I have created a VM under VMWorkstation as well as VirtualBox. The guest OS is Ubuntu 13.04.
From the guest OS under VirtualBox, when I type the following command, it succeeds:
$ sudo mount -t cifs //10.10.1.15/mydev mydev/ -o username=myuser,password=mypass
Here, 10.10.1.15 is the IP address of my Windows box.
However, when I run the same command from the VM under VMWorkstation, I get an error "Unable to find suitable address."
From system logs, I see the the following errors:
CIFS VFS: Error conneting to socket. Aborting operation.
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code=-113
All the three machines are in the same 10.10.1.xxx subnet and can properly ping each other. The network for each VM is set for "Network bridge."
I am wondering if anyone knows what could be going on and how I can fix this problem.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Peter
