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!!
