All windows guests show disconnected network drives

Post by Croatian »

I just upgraded to the latest version 4.3.22 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. All my guests are Windows flavors, like XP, 7 and 8.1. All of them are exhibiting the same behavior when it comes to auto-mounted shared folders from the host, they all say "Disconnected Network Drive", but when you open them (in any guest) they work just fine. I did install the latest guest additions that came with this new version. That's the first thing I always do and I do it from the Windows Safe Mode. I also tried removing the auto-shares and adding them back again, but to no avail. Would anyone have any clue what's going on here?

Thanks!
