[Solved] Unable to connect to shared folder under windows 7

Post by bebabi34 »

host: debian stable (9 stretch)
virtualbox 5.1.26
guest: win 7 ultimate 32bit
guest additions 5.1.26

(apologize for my english)
after adding shared folder (with auto mount) and start the vm, i don't see them in explore under my computer.
i don't used the vm for a while, but i remember it worked fine.
there's the vboxsvr in my network, but it's contains nothing.
any suggestions?
thanks to all.
 Edit:  disabled windows 7 home group functionality and the shared folders are back.
