Hi,

I am trying to convert a win xp computer to a vm machine with vmware stand alone converter. and i am getting this error :

"\computerName\ADMIN$ is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. the network location cannot be reached."

I have try to run the program with Admin privileges and i am greeting this massage " unable to connect to the network share'1.1.1.1\ADMIN$". saw i type in the win xp machine in the run command " \1.1.1.1\ADMIN$" and no luck "cannot access the network share".Then i type in cmd " net share" and i can see the share " ADMIN$".

Can some one help me please???

    Please give us more information, where are the shares and what type of operating system is involved.  Trying to access shares on XP machine from Windows ? machine.  Or Trying to access shares on Windows ? machine from Windows XP machine?  Trying to access shares on same machine between Windows XP & VM machine?  Disable all the firewalls while you troubleshoot this, if your machine(s) is(are) behind a router they will still be protected.  Are the machines in the same workgroup?  The results of the Net View may be helpful.

    Try this link for VM.

    Also,you might need to edit the firewall/exceptions tab,plus internet connections properties,both in control-

    panel.

    Hi,

    I tried to see if i have permission locally to the shared folders " c$ , D$ , ADMIN$" and i don't.

    I am receiving the same error " no permission"
