I have Virtualbox version 1.3.8 (binary) installed on my Gentoo system. I have run

vboxmanage sharedfolder add WinXP -name linux -hostpath /BackUp

and in WinXP's command line window

net use x: \\vboxsvr\linux

but I always get network path not found.

Unfortunately, Virtualbox is completely useless for me with a working shared folder.

Many thanks for a hint,
