Network shares will not work using NAT. You would need to use bridged or host only for that.
VBox shared folders require the guest additions be installed (in the guest)
This should help Howto: Install Linux Guest Additions

Also this will help you a lot http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html
