I just installed VB on OSX 10.5.6
I created a fresh XP Pro VM.
I cannot find the shared folders I have defined. They are supposed to show up in “My Networking Places” -> “Entire Network” -> “VirtualBox Shared
Folders” BUT they don't.
Help appreciated.
where are the shared folders?

No. You posted something different in your first post and I had to try that before I posted my second post.
When I use that icon laying on my Desktop (in german it's called "netzwerkumgebung" and I guess that is the same like "My Networking Places"), I don't see any of the "VirtualBox Shared Folders".
But if I use the method described by me it works.
If it does not work from within Explorer check if you have installed "Client for MS-Networking" under Networking.Properties.
Maybe you also need to enable a NIC in the VMs setting.
If this all does not work, please post it, we'll find a way to bring you with your elephants over the alps [put your favorite smilie here] ...

OK. After 2 reboots it shows up when mapping a drive. BUT I can only map if there is a subfolder in the share, if there are none (like dsktop) it doesn't work.tkwm wrote:No. You posted something different in your first post and I had to try that before I posted my second post.

Seems to me this is an area which needs some more work.....
P.S. When trying to type the path in a explorer window: \\VBOXSVR\Volumes I cannot connect also....
No good.
hi,
can't resume that because all my shared folders do have subfolders.
But for my part I see your problem as solved. You can use shared folder from within the vm. The other problems are more of cosmetic nature.
When I type the path in a explorer window: \\VBOXSVR\Musik, the VM stops responding and I have to shut it down manually. Guest is w2k.
Yes, no good, but mapped to a driveletter the shared folders do work.

Yes thanks. One step in the right direction. But they need a lot of work there....tkwm wrote:hi,
