Please tell us what version of vbox you are using and if the latest guest editions are installed.

How are you attempting to find your share? Most of them can be found with a \\vboxsvr

many of the advanced features (clipboard sharing, shared folders, seamless integration) require the guest utilities to be installed in your guest machine. Please see the manual for instructions how to do so.

It appears though you are tryign to connect to the guest from the host. In order for that to function you need to have a HIF device (host interface) created for the guest and specify the IP address locally for that HIF (something like 192.168.1.1) and then specify the address in the guest (something like 192.168.1.2)

that will allow you to communicate from host <-> guest.

There are more advanced options but based off your post this should work
