Sorry, if that looks impatient...

Again I want to ask about shared folders. In my case it doesn't work.

I installed Windows XP Sp2 as guest on Ubunutu Dapper host system.
Installation went fine, NAT is available and working.

I want to access local files and think shared folders is the way  to go.
Unfortunately I can't get it to work.

First two questions if I understan dthe issue correct:

- shared folder don't need any networking setup?
- the "server" name is fixed for the built-in server as vboxsrv?

I added a shared folder to my vms

./VBoxManage sharedfolder add XP_SP2 -name "myshare" -hostpath "/opt"

The Virtual Box Additions for Windows has been installed as well.

After a restart of the VM I want to add the share.
But the command
net use x: \\vboxsrv\myshare
fails with error 53

Anything I missed?
