Fail connecting to local virtual machines

I have a Windows Vista in an enterprize domain. This PC is running VMware
supporting also some 3 virtual XP machines.
In another networking card via LAN it is connected also to another XP
machine, which is not a domain memeber.
Problem is that while maping a local drive in the LAN PC works fine,
connectng and/or maping in the virtual machines (also not members in the
Vista domain) fails.
Can someone help please?
Regards
James

Can you ping other computers by IP?

Can you ping the hostname? If not, check the DNS settings or enable NetBIOS
over TCP/IP. If yes, what's the system error when using net use to map?

Thanks Bob Lin,
I couldn't ping a hostname so I enabled NetBios over TCP/IP following your
advice.
Pinging using hostname still failed.
I want to try the DNS option but don't know how to do it.
Can you farther help?
Regards
James

We need more information to help. Post back with the results of ipconfig
/all and nslookup may help.

I have a lot questions regarding this configuration.

1. 100.0.0.0/8 is private IP addresses or private?
2. Are you using 8.0.0.0/8 as private IP addresses?
3. Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0
8.30.8.136
could be the problem too.
4. Default: Server UnKnown could be another problem.
