Your headline states "wmware and windows" but the body of your question indicates redhat and virtualbox. Which is it?

If redhat is a guest in VirtualBox which is running on a MS Windows host, have you installed the VirtualBox extensions?

I doubt if you are using vmware on top of MS Windows. Are you sure that you are not using VirtualBox? See virtualbox.org for details about how to install the guest extensions.

Fpmurphy,

They could be using Vmware Workstation on top of Windows, but if they are trying to share folders the VirtualBox way, then yes, that will fail.
