I have tried bridging and hosting then type \\192.., just like what i did on my mainbuild when accessing Unraid shares.

But it seems not to be functioning.

When I used an OEM version of X710 as eth3, and enabled bridging(br3) in Unraid Network Settings, and the VM virt-network set to br3,

I still can't access to the Unraid host IP address.

If you use a bridge interface, all Unraid shares should be accessible from the VM.

erm, I managed to bind that X710 LAN card to vfio and bypassed it to the VM, and it now has a allocated IP address different from the Host Unraid 

however still not working through \\192.168.....\share

My VM here is set for WORKLOADS and GAMING, so I chose to bypass GPU(B580) and LAN(X710), along with a USB controller for remote 10G USB hub

And now I have managed to accumulate all my games to bunch of SATA SSD drives mounted on the Unraid storage pool, so another method solving the problem is

"How To Mount Virtiofs Unraid Shares onto WINDOWS 11"

Seem like recent virtio driver iso doesn't include winfsp (https://winfsp.dev/rel/)

Install Core service of winfsp, then enable VirtIO-Fs Service in system services of win11, problem solved.

I dont think winfsp has ever been included in the virtio cd.

if you can ping your Unraid Server from the VM (to ensure its accessable), may also, can you open the webui from Unraid inside your VM ...

since a few month windows changed access to insecure smb shares, needs some mods in group policy (win 11 pro as sample)
