Hi Ian, I am curious how you used samba to share
linux folder with vbox guest OS.
Did you use the VBOX shared folders feature or did
you use samba daemon on Linux and configure smb.conf
to export that folder?
If the latter, it means that you did not use the NAT
networking interface in the VM configuration. Is this correct?
