virtual box question

[web]

I have created a "shared" folder called home. How the hell do I now find it on my virtual xp box ? I typed a few things in but keeps getting errors

 

[chiskop]

in the windows console type:

net use t: \\vboxsvr\home

After that, it'll be accessible under My Computer.

 

[web]

C:\>net use t: \\vboxsvr\home

Gives me error
System error 53 has occurred

The network path was not found.

I tried changing t for a y or x ? Any other ideas

Never had that.

What is your host OS? If linux, are you a member of the vboxusers group? Have you installed the guest additions?

Only thing I can find is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=528531

Using Mandriva yes to both questions had the same problem when I was using Kubuntu a few weeks ago, must be doing something wrong, hmmmm off to google i go.

Can I ask if it's possible to post this in the virtualbox thread?

thanks!

It will be best if everything regarding virtualbox be kept in that thread for future eventualities.

mmm ok slaps myself and start reading manuals then it all comes clear.
What I did wrong had the OSE version installed and hadn't installed guest functions onto the vitual xp box. Anyway now all working.
