Sharing Files Fedora 8 in VB

[Iris]

Hi i hope someone can help me with this!

I've searched through the many post about file sharing but they don't seem to work for me hence this post. Im a very unexperienced Fedora and VB user. I run windows Xp on my computer i installed Fedora 8 on VB. But i can't acces any files from my computer in VB and vice versa.

When installing VB i assigned a folder as a shared file i can't acces it in Fedora nor can i acces my usb.

In one post i read i could acces it through Samba i dowloaded the package but couldn't find a instalation file in the dowloaded packages

in one post i read that i could acces the sharedfolder assigned by VB by typing net use x://vboxsvr/sharefolder which gives me a error message
that net is not recognised.

again im a very inexperienced Fedora user so if i did something wrong please let me know
