After digging into the help files, Virtual Box requires a explicit 'net use' command to mount that shared drive. Net use x: vboxsvr sharename vboxsvr is a fixed name(might be helper service which runs on the guest along with Guest additions), 'sharename' is the alias name which is provided while mapping the host drive. Execute: net use x: vboxsvrsharedfoldername You should see new drive X: in My Computer; In your case execute net use x: vboxsvrwin7. In Windows XP guest, use the following formula command: net use x: vboxsvr sharename While vboxsvr is a fixed name, replace “x:“ with the drive letter that you want to use for the share, and sharename with the share name specified before.
os: opensuse 11.0 (host: opensuse, guest: windows xp mce 2005)
installed virtualbox from sun's site. (not the ose)
installed the kernels and others except the virtual box from suse repo.
installed guest additions , every thing including usb works except folder sharing.
it says the networkname couldnot be found, error 67, ??
i found these lines included in suse boot log:
Starting VirtualBox Additions failed
(modprobe vboxadd failed)
Starting VirtualBox host networkingdone
Starting VirtualBox Additions shared folder support failed
(modprobe vboxvfs failed)
Starting VirtualBox kernel moduledone

Until the latest version of VirtualBox (1.4.1) released for Mac, there are still no support for the Host Interface networking option enabled yet. Moreover, you even could not see the NIC card got working on Mac OSX running in some Intel Machine (Jas 10.4.8) since it didn’t recognized properly with the built-in driver. So, is there anyway to get a simple networking between both OS? Sure it does.
FYI, file transfer in a Shared Folders option allow you to access files of your Mac OSX system from within the Windows XP guest system, much like ordinary shares on Windows networks would – except that shared folders do not need a networking setup. Sharing is accomplished using a special service on the host and a file system driver for the guest, both of which are – fortunately – provided by VirtualBox. In order to use this feature, the VirtualBox Guest Additions have to be installed in guest OS. Currently, shared Folders are limited to Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Linux 2.4 and 2.6 guests. To share a folder with a virtual machine in VirtualBox, you must specify the path of the folder to be shared on the host and chose a “share name” that the guest can use to access it.
Then, you can mount the shared folder from inside a VM the same way as you would mount an ordinary network share.
In Windows XP guest, use the following formula command:
net use x: vboxsvrsharename
While vboxsvr is a fixed name, replace “x:“ with the drive letter that you want to use for the share, and sharename with the share name specified before.
To simplify this, I used to create a batch file which can executed manually to mount all of the 4 shared folder name (1 NTFS partition for Windows XP, 2 FAT32 partition for data & 1 HFS Mac OSX partition) specified before after the guest OS shows up. For example, named it with vboxsvr.bat and the picture below is the values:
Net Use X Vboxsvr Sharename
You can also create a link for the batch file & move it to on a someplace you like for example in a quick launch panel.
To test the script, simply click the shortcut file until it processed completely. If it succeeded, the script will create new networking drives available assigned next to the drive letter defined before on the batch file.
However, I still don’t understand why it marked with Disconnected Network Drive label although files & folders on both OS is accessible as you may seen on ordinary full permission shared drives.

Shared folders doesn’t work for me.
I use a Max OSX 10.5.2 host and Windows XP guest OS (and VBox Guest Additions).
The net use command simply returns an error 53: The network path was not found (yes I have doublechecked names).
Sap client roles. SAP NetWeaver Business Client: Sample RolesWe are often asked about roles. Ideally, you need to ask a consultant. However, I hope this list of roughly 130 sample roles will help you get started with the Business Client. SAP delivers many predefined roles. By assigning activities to be performed in a client, you give each client a particular role. This section describes the most important client roles. Since you need to adapt the SAP software for your own business needs, each SAP system landscape requires a client where Customizing settings, and possibly ABAP Workbench developments, can be made. Client is a 'Customer'. We can say that each customer maps to one client. Within one SAP instance, a number of Clients can be created. No need to install separate softwares for each and every customer.It provides isolation,one client cannot see the data of another client. The SAP client concept allows an organization to split a system into logical subunits. Clients may operate as separate business units, where all data is stored in a common database. Access rights for each client are defined during the installation process. Client Role Send feedback. In its client role, the SAP Web Application Server creates HTTP requests in an ABAP program, and processes the responses. If the SAP System is the client, that is, if a work process wants to send a request to the Internet, this procedure works in reverse.
Do I need to have some particular protocol or service installed for my LAN connection?
Thanks!
It is working!
Now I can share my documents with Mac OS 10.5 and guest XP (under vbox)
V30 update client software. * I have quest additions installed.
* I have a shared folder called Shared.
To configure the above on the Guest OS:
(From the VirtualBox menu)
Devices > Shared Folders
Devices > Install Guest Additions Nfs most wanted black edition ps2 cheats iso.
On the Guest OS (I am running XP)
My Computer
Tools > Map Network Drive
Drive: (I chose) x:
Folder: VBOXSVRShared
By doing this I was able to create a Shared connection between Mac OSX host and XP Guest OS.
