8876	Shared Folders Do Not Appear At All To Guest	Brian		"I simply cannot get shared folders to work at all.  I submitted help on the forum (http://forum.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=41189&p=185344&sid=fb426169a8c4560ecfa7f082b9a7987e#p185344), but nobody can help.

Here are the details:

I set up VirtualBox 4.0.6 on my Ubuntu 10.10 x64 host to run Windows 7 Pro x64, and it works pretty well with a few issues. One issue is that shared folders do not show up in my guest OS.

What I've Done So Far: I installed the Guest Additions to no avail. I setup ""/home/brian"" as my shared folder, with Auto-Mount set to ""Yes"" and Access set to ""Full"" in the Shared Folders popup (from clicking ""Devices > Shared Folders..."" in the guest window). In the Edit Share popup (from clicking the yellow Edit button in the Shared Folders popup), I can confirm that the folder path is /home/brian, the folder name is brian, and that Auto-Mount and Make Permanent are both checked on (Read Only is off). I noted in the forums that setting my ethernet adapter to bridged instead of NAT might help, but it hasn't. I read the user manual and can confirm that I followed all instructions correctly. The manual says I should be seeing the shared folder come up as a letter-assigned disk partition in My Computer, but it still does not appear. I tried knocking off Auto-mount and restarting VirtualBox, to no avail. I see nothing but Local Disk (C:) in Computer and nothing but my own computer in Network."	defect	closed	shared folders	VirtualBox 4.0.6	obsolete			Windows	Linux
