Hmm, didn't know, if I could call them bugs already  ;-)

Actually it is a Win2000 guest, and yes, it can read the shares on the  
other native XP machine fine, problem occurs only on writing to the XP  
share.

I started with the PCNet card, the only one available in earlier  
versions. Meanwhile I have also tried the Intel/PRO (with original  
Windows drivers from Intel) with the same result.
I have also tried the NAT variant (with both emulated netcards), and  
in this mode all the reported problems do not happen. But I found that  
the NAT mode is also noticeably slower (about 50% of the bridged mode).

Meanwhile all current MS patches applied (via the NAT mode  ;-)
No instabilities except occasional hangs of the VM during shutdown.

No firewall on any of the machines, this is all in my "home net"  
behind a DSL-Router.
