Not sure what changed or when as this used to work but I can no longer open shared folder in the host OS.
Windows 10 Pro - 10.0.15063 Build 15063
Workstation 12 Pro – 12.5.7 Build 5813279
I have a dual boot PC and if I run the same VM in the same version of Workstation 12 everything works as it should if I boot into Windows 7.
???
In the Windows 10 setup I can ping the Windows 10 host by IP and name. It’s only after I try and browse for shared folders that I get an error. First “The network name cannot be found.” and then if I run the diagnose option “Windows can’t communicate with the device or resource”.
Issues found
Windows can't communicate with the device or resource (##########)
It is available but is not responding to connection attempts. A firewall or network security policy on the remote computer might be blocking the connection on port "file and print sharing resource".
Make sure that the device or resource (##########) allows incoming connections for File and Printer Sharing Completed
