Uleat, thanks for responding! I have seen your posts a lot in my meandering.
Your answer will probably fix the issue if I have the server intalled directly on my machine, but I don't. It is on virtualbox. The only IP readout I get is 10.0.2.15;I'm unable to ping that address from MSDOS on the host machine, so it's no surprise that I can't connect.
my questions are these:
1) I've read some old posts stating that installing the server repack messed up windows / explorer for some folks. I realize this new self-installer is NOT exactly the same, so is it safe for windows to run outside of a virtual environment? I've noticed NOTHING wrong on the Windows 7 I have installed on my virtual, but my host runs windows 10 and I have no backup disks.
2) If the answer to the question above is "it's fine", then I have no more questions! If it's not, though... I'm back at "why can I not see this virtual machine from the host?" In answer to your question about local or LAN, I'm going for LAN.This is definitely a straight configuration issue; from your other posts, I know that's right up your alley. I used your configuration suggestions (both of them) and neither could resolve the issue. I'm positive it has to do with my inability to ping the virtual machine. If that was fixed, I think the answers you've already provided would do the trick.
Thanks for taking the time to help! Thanks also to you and all the other members of the project; you guys are giants to a lot of people, and we appreciate what you've done here.
