Background: Host OS: Mepis (version 6) Linux Guest OS: Win XP SP2 Parallels: 2.2 2050 (licensed) Access to my shared folders from the guest seems to come and go. Sometimes I can access files with no problems, other times it says "folder not accessible". I haven't been able to pin down a pattern and was wondering if others were having the same problem. In a related note: I had the same issue using shared folders through windows networking and SAMBA. Sometimes the folders would not be accessible. If I totally rebooted the computer (host) they would usually come back. I would guess the two sharing methods share the same problem. Has anyone else experienced this on the windows/linux version?
