I have no problems setting up file sharing between a windows 7 guest in a LL2.2 host, using Oracle Virtualbox, having already done this a few times on different laptops.
However, when the guest is changed to a distro e.g. ubuntu 14.04, with LL2.2 host, I have problems setting up file sharing. The problem is something like this...
... the 'Guest Additions' appear to install correctly. However, when I go to...
Browse Network (within the guest) → Lappy → linuxliteshare,
a window opens up with a password request for linuxliteshare. However when I put my Administrator password in this doesn't seem to work.
Any clarification much appreciated.
Kind regards
Mike
