Sharing folders to a Windows 7 Virtual Guest in RHEL 6

Hi all,

I'm running RHEL 6.5 and have a Windows 7 x86-64 SP1 Virtual Machine running using the Redhat virtualization manager.

I've created a bridged network and the VM can ping other machines on my network including the gateway (my router).

Other machines on my network can ping the VM and my host RHEL machine.

However, the VM cannot ping the host for some reason even though it can ping other machines on the network!

I have setup some samba shares on my host that I want the VM to map as a network drive which is the background to this.

If however, there is any way to share folders in the same manner as is possible using VMware Player then that would be preferable!

Many thanks for your help!
