Not on both. Interesting on the "Vm writable" = yes does not show. There was a couple differences. The VN mirrors the one that works. restarted nmb and smb and still cannot write files. While I was researching this issue today I found that others were complaining about not being able to write to guest VM's on VirtualBox, Linux to Linux. I also found a reference that said VirtualBox has a way to to file transfers. I need to read it. Maybe this week end... I have other thing that need my attention. Sure would like to find an answer. I think it is a VirtualBox thing. Thank you for all your ideas and help!!
