Cannot Access Shared Folders (centos 5 host, xp guest)

[whiskey6]

Hi there, I cannot access shared folders. They are NTFS and mounted under /mnt/win1 and /mnt/win2. I can read and write to both mounted drives no problem with the host OS. I have also tried following the .pdf documentation that is available but to no avail. I am running vbox 1.62 with guest additions.

Code: Select all

C:\Documents and Settings\derek>net use t:\\vboxsrv\win1
System error 67 has occurred.

The network name cannot be found.

Thanks

Finger trouble. You typed vboxsrv. I didn't spot it but google did:

Did you mean: "network name cannot be found" vboxsvr

Thanks, but that isn't the problem:

Code: Select all

C:\Documents and Settings\derek>net use u:\\vboxsvr\win1
System error 67 has occurred.

The network name cannot be found.

from the user manual:

While vboxsvr is a ?xed name (note that vboxsrv would also work),

I have the same problem with shared folders in VirtualBox 1.6.2.
I fixed it with VirtualBox 1.6.0.
