[TMG] vbox sharing problem was solved

[supat at supat.eu.org]

Earlier, I solved problem by attach mail to gmail.
But i found that it has better solution in sharing files between linux and 
guest xp os box. However, .pdf mannual were written badly from 
unexperiance persons so it made everyone messed up and impossible to 
understand it.

now, i can find out what it was doing.

1. guest box os must install addition.iso
2. it was inhibit and bad to install linux-addition.iso on master machine
3. if connect by bridge network the linux samba can see all shared xp via 
samba
4. if no network, xp can see and write to linux filing system via internal 
box shared from linux via vbox setup.

if written as i said above then no one can confuse.

it made me 2 days long to find out above fact after deep digging.

so, i write in here to prevent forgetting.
