Win7 Guest can't see Shared Folders

Host: 10.7.5
Guest: Windows 7 SP1
VB 4.2.4 (I have not installed the Extension Pack)

I have three network drives, a folder from each of which is mounted on the host. In the VB Manager settings for the guest, I have defined a Shared Folder for each of these network drive folders, with auto-mount and "full" access.

When I run the guest, I can't see any of the shared folders. An attempt to Map Network Drive, set Drive to Z:, leave Folder: blank, and click Browse... shows only the guest machine, itself, with "Users" underneath, and then my username and "Public".

What do I need to do to make these Shared Folders visible to the guest?

TIA,

Mark

Sorry for the "false alarm."
