Problems with VirtualBox and shared folder

Hello

I have installed VirtualBox binary version. Now i try to make a shared folder.

I made these steps..........

On the host system i made this:

VBoxManage sharedfolder add "WindowsXP" -name share -hostpath "/home/sector/share"

Then i start the virtual machine and i put the following commands in the terminal:

net use s: \\vboxsrv\share

and i try this:

net use s: \\10.0.2.2\share

But non of these solutions worked. Can anyone explain me how can i make a shared folder correctly ???

Regards

Re: Problems with VirtualBox and shared folder

Hello again

so i have killed my old virtual windows machine and install a new clean virtual windows.
Now can i use the shared folder feature without any problems.
A little bit curious, but it is Windows and therefor it is normal.
