Cannot Access Shared Folder (Win7 Host/Guest)
Posted: 4. Aug 2013, 14:23
Hello,
I have trouble to access Shared Folder within Windows 7 Guest OS. When I try to connect shared folder using Map network Drive-->\\vboxsvr\sharedFolder it gives me Network Error: Windows cannot access \\vboxsvr\Shared. If I try to map network drive using Command Prompt-->net use x: \\vboxsvr\sharedFolder -p it gives me System error 53, the network Path was not found.
Host - Win7
Guest - Win7
VirtualBox Version - 4.2.16 r86992 (latest)
Guest Additions Installed
Network attached to NAT
I haven't trouble when host and guest was on Windows XP, but on Seven I can't to figure out whats wrong, it just doesn't work
Please Help

EDIT
I found out that Guest Additions wasn't Installed on Guest OS. When I click Devices-->Install Guest Additions nothing happen (I thought it was installed in silent mode). after some research I have found that Guest Additions was mounted on my CD drive. After running setup file (VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe) and installing software, everything fell into the place. Now I can access to shared folders without any issues.
