Browsing networks on guest Windows XP

Post by moths »

Hello there :)

I'm new to Virtual Box but hope it can enable me to run Sage Saleslogix on my Mac machine, within a Windows XP setting. However I can't seem to browse to my local network files to start installing, and I expect this will cause me problems in uture as well. Is there something I've missed, or is this just not possible? I've had a look at the FAQ but didn't see anything about simply browsing to other computers/servers on a network, so wondered if anyone had a similar experience?

Thanks very much!

Is everything properly installed? Guest Additions too? Have you setup a shared Folder (in the VBox Program) on the MAC and mapped it in Windows?
