How Do I Get a File From the Host to the Virtual OS? 1

[BoulderBum]

I'm trying to do something seemingly simple: get a file from my Windows XP laptop to a Windows Server 2003 virtual server running through "Virtual Server 2005 R2" on said Windows XP laptop.

I poked around and saw the "Linked Virtual Disk", which seems to be more for copying thing entire contents of a physical disk onto a .vhd.

What I want is simpler: just to create a share or something that both Windows XP and my virtualized Windows Server machine can access.

Is there a simple way to do this?

Update: I just realized I could access the machine by IP address in Windows Explorer, but I don't want either machine to have a static IP, so it would be a slight hassle to do things that way.

Is there a better way?

Seriously? I haven't tried yet, but that would be pretty funny.

Did I tell you this is pretty much my first day using Virtual Server?
