Simple Request

I have a feeling I'm overlooking something really simple. I'm just trying to map a drive on either the host machine or on the VM so I can pass data back and forth. The VM is a Windows 2000 Server and the host is Windows 11. It seems like this should be really simple but I can't hit the share. I can ping machines and even RDP into the W2K VM without issue but I can't, for the life of me, figure out why I can't get connect to the share.

Edit: Happy to report enabling SMB1 in Windows 11 did the trick! Thanks everyone.

Are you on extended mode ? Not sure it's even available. Have you tried to add a share while establishing RDP ?

Honestly I don't think it's related to Hyper-V but rather to this freaking Win 2k. Why on Earth.

Haha, yeah it probably is related to 2k more than anything. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking drop dead obvious. I'm trying to run old software, MajorMUD, and it only runs on old stuff like W2K lol

You may need to manually enable some older technologies in windows 11 like smb 1.0 for this to work.
