Hi Michal,
You shouldn't need the host name or IP address to use the VirtualBox
shared folders feature. Have you followed the instructions in section
4.7 of the User Manual
<http://dlc-cdn-rd.sun.com/c1/virtualbox/3.1.6/UserManual.pdf?e=1273159558&h=0002b2594b13f68859437089989af216>,
Folder Sharing? Here's the relevant section from that manual:
In a Solaris guest, use the following command:
mount -F vboxfs [-o OPTIONS] sharename mountpoint
Replace sharename (use lowercase) with the share name specified with
VBoxManage or the GUI, and mountpoint with the path where you want the
share to be mounted on the guest (e.g. /mnt/share). The usual mount rules
apply, that is, create this directory first if it does not exist yet.
Here is an example of mounting the shared folder for the user “jack”
on Open-
Solaris:
$id
uid=5000(jack) gid=1(other)
$mkdir /export/home/jack/mount
$pfexec mount -F vboxfs -o uid=5000,gid=1 jackshare
/export/home/jack/mount
$cd ~/mount
$ls
sharedfile1.mp3 sharedfile2.txt
Regards,
Brian

Hi,
I have installed the Guest Addtions in OpenSolaris to be able to use Windows folder
(VirtualBox's host), added demanded folder to "Shared folders" but I can't
connect to host-computer neither by 192.168.56.1 (standard VB IP) nor host's name. Making
the folder shared from Windows doesn't work too. Please help.
Regards,
Michał
