VM cannot ping the host

VM cannot ping the host VMware Workstation 5.5 is installed on Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2. NAT networking is used for the virtual machine – Red Hat Linux guest. I can ping the VM from the host but cannot ping the host from my Linux guest.

Windows Firewall is enabled by default in Windows XP Service Pack 2, which means incoming echo requests ("pings") are disallowed. To allow incoming echo requests, go to Control Panel->Windows Firewall->tab Advanced and click 'ICMP Settings'. In the dialog box check "Allow incoming echo request". You must ensure that the file and printer sharing checkbox is checked on the tab "Exceptions" to access shared host files and folders from the guest.

关机时自动备份重要文件

    电脑中有一些重要的资料需要经常备份，如重要的文档、IE 收藏夹等等，如果利用Windows2000/XP 开关机脚本让系统自动进行备份的话，就可以避免因忘记备份而导致资料丢失的麻烦。下面以IE 收藏夹为例，介绍如何利用关机脚本实现自动备份。

    首先在指定的位置创建备份文件夹，如D:\Favorites ，然后在"C:\Windows （WinNT）\System32\Grouppolicy\Machine\Scripts\Shutdown"目录下， 编写一个能够自动备份的批处理文件DataBak.bat，内容如下：
XCOPY/E/Y "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Favorites" D:\Favorites
    打开组策略窗口，在左侧的控制台树窗格中，依次展开"计算机配置/Windows 设置/ 脚本（启动/ 关机）"节点，双击右侧详细资料窗格中的"关机"项目，在弹出的"关机属性"对话框中点击"添加"按钮，将DataBak.bat 添加为新的计算机关机脚本。设置完成后，退出组策略窗口，重新启动计算机即可。
