Looks like you need to set up samba,

Maybe this helps:

BTW, I have XP as guest in my Ubuntu with Virtualbox OSE and sharing files was simply a matter of putting them in /home/user/Shared folder and mounting a network drive in XP.

Please install VMWare Tools first.
This enables drag and drop option of sharing files between guest and host.
