HI,
I've got Windows XP Mode running on Wndows 7 Professional x64. I have an instance of SQL 2008 running on Windows 7 which I would like my copy of VS2010b2 Pro running inside WinXPMode to see. However, I cannot figure out the right combination of networking and firewall adjustments to make. Below is what I've done so far. Can someone help me out with what I've left to do to get this working? I've tried working through several solutions for SQL2005 mentioned elsewhere on the site, but still no joy.
Thanks, Dan
At this point I can ping my host OS from my guest OS.
However, I still cannot telnet to my host OS port 1433 or 1434 from within my guest OS and have run out of ideas.
Found the solution myself. For reference, I missed two things in that list above.
I've documented the full set of steps at http://blog.hmobius.com/post/2009/12/24/How-to-get-Windows-7-XP-Mode-Apps-to-talk-to-SQL-2008-on-your-Windows-7-Host-OS.aspx#continue
