Can't get folder/file sharing to work on Windows 7 Pro Guest, Linux Host, Player 3

The host OS is Debian Linux. The Guest OS is Windows 7 Pro. I am using Player 3.0 I have enabled a directory as a shared directory using the File Sharing Wizard in the Player. However, I cannot seem to enable it in the Windows guest. I go to my computer and there is no share. I checked networking for shared drives and nothing. I also cannot access //vmware-host/Shared Folders/test. VMware tools are installed, and the permissions for the shared folder on my Linux host are the same as for the user running the Windows guest. What am I missing?

Thanks!

Mark
