This indicates that you didn't install the TCP/IP network stack. You'll have a heck of a time connecting to the server if it's not running TCP/IP. > I think I can, too.

However, I suspect that you're connecting to the SMB server that's part of OS X, instead of connecting to your Windows machine. Your Windows machine should have some other address, I think, depending on how you configure networking in VPC. Again, my experience is with VMware, but here's how it works there. When you install a VM, you can configure networking in three ways: - host-only, in which case the VM will have a fake IP address that is only reachable from the host OS, - bridged networking, in which case the VM will have an IP address on the "real" external network (if you're using DHCP, your adapter will grab two addresses instead of one), or - NAT, in which case the VM will have a fake IP address, but will be able to route through the host OS In any of those cases, I can't reach the VM from the host OS using the loopback address. I hope this makes some sense; I can't think of a simpler way to explain it.
