| 8 | The performance for accesses to shared folders from a Windows
|
|---|
| 9 | guest might be decreased due to delays during the resolution of
|
|---|
| 10 | the Oracle VM VirtualBox shared folders name service. To fix these
|
|---|
| 11 | delays, add the following entries to the file
|
|---|
| 12 | <filepath>\windows\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts</filepath> of
|
|---|
| 13 | the Windows guest:
|
|---|
| 14 | </p>
|
|---|
| 15 | <pre xml:space="preserve">255.255.255.255 VBOXSVR #PRE
|
|---|
| 16 | 255.255.255.255 VBOXSRV #PRE</pre>
|
|---|
| 17 | <p>
|
|---|
| 18 | After doing this change, a reboot of the guest is required.
