I'm not going to say it doesn't work since I'm not at that system at the 
moment, but I wondered if you could verify this...

I had a window where I could browse my local workgroup and another icon 
marked virtualbox shared drives, and the virtualbox entry was blank and 
the local workgroup just has the virtualized system.

I also couldn't use \\vboxsrv or \\vboxsvr in the address bar to browse 
shares?

Are these normal? I'll try the fixes in the link you sent when I get a 
chance.
