Any idea for me? I believe you need to install the Guest Addition of Virtuabox on the virtual XP machine and have it running for the folder share to work.

If I'm reading this correctly tho, it's for the reverse of what I'm trying to do, unless I misunderstood. But what I'm reading here is that they are trying to share a folder on the host and access it from the guest. I'm doing the opposite. I'm sharing a folder on the guest and I'm trying to access it from the network or even from the host, which doesn't see the shared folder either.
Upgrade the xp box to a supported OS. XP went out of date a long time ago. Frankly, I would consider an XP system to be dangerous in a commercial environment. Upgrading XP to a newer OS is not an option. We have an older software that will only run in an XP environment.
Compatibility option did not work, hence the XP VM. I don't mind having to use a password, but the password isn't working, and yes, it is the right password.
I get kind of tired of this excuse. You would have known 10 years ago that XP was going to go out of service in 6 years time. Four years ago it did. You have had the better part of 10 years to find an alternative. You are using a system that is simply dangerous. There is, IMHO, no excuse. Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit.

IPCs support communications between objects on different computers over a network by manipulating the low-level details of network transport protocols.
IPCs enable the use of distributed application programs that combine multiple processes working together to accomplish a single task. When a remote computer connects to a printer over the network, the appropriate printer driver is downloaded to the remote PC. Although you can temporarily disable hidden shares, you cannot delete them without modifying the Registry which is not recommended , because they get re-created each time the computer restarts.
You can connect to a hidden share, but only if you provide a user account with administrative privileges along with the appropriate password for that user account.
Administrators can create their own custom administrative hidden shares simply by adding a dollar sign to the share name of any shared folder.
Users and network administrators have several options available to them for connecting to shared network resources. These options include the following:. At this point, you are connected to that shared resource, provided that you possess the proper user ID, password, and security permissions needed to access the shared folder. You can connect to a network share from My Network Places.
To use the My Network Places window, perform the following steps:. Enter the Internet Or Network Address, or click Browse to locate the network share by viewing the available network resources.
You can connect to one of the following types of resources:. Click Finish to establish the connection to the shared folder, provided that you have the proper permissions. A list of network resources to which you have already connected is then displayed within the My Network Places window.

When you, as a network administrator, grant access to shared resources over the network, the shared data files become very vulnerable to unintentional, as well as intentional destruction or deletion by others.
This is why network administrators must be vigilant in controlling data access security permissions. If access permissions to shared folders are too lenient, shared data may become compromised. On the other hand, if access permissions are set too stringently, the users who need to access and manipulate the data may not be able to do their jobs. Managing access control for shared resources can be quite challenging.
By right-clicking a shared folder and selecting Sharing, you can modify some of the shared folder's properties. You can specify whether network users can cache shared data files on their local workstations. To configure offline access settings for the shared folder, click the Caching button to display the Cache Settings dialog box.

If you allow caching of files for a shared folder, you must choose from three options in the Caching Settings dialog box:. Older copies of files are automatically deleted to make room for newer and more recently accessed files. To ensure proper file sharing, the server version of the file is always opened.
This option is not designed for sharing data files, and file sharing in this mode is not guaranteed. This setting requires network users to manually specify any files that they want available when working offline. This setting is recommended for folders that contain user documents. Click OK in the Caching Settings dialog box after making any configuration changes for offline access to the shared folder.
The default cache size is configured as 10 percent of the client computer's available disk space. The Offline Files tab of the Folder Options dialog box displays the system's offline files settings, as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3. You can use the Cachemov. The Cachemov.
