unable to share windows host folder with oracle linux 9

Your post doesn't make much sense so start out by indicating if you are using virtualbox and if so, which OS is the host and which is installed in virtualbox? Are these on the same machine? Is your keyboard not functioning as I see periods in places where there should be none and you stopped your post in the middle of a sentence. If English is a secondary language you need better translation software.
You have not provided enough detail. I assume Windows is the host and Oracle 9 running as VirtualBox guest? Are you trying to use VirtualBox guest shared folder?
To be able to use shared folders you need to install guest additions. Typically you can not automatically run the install in linux. The ISO file should be automatically mounted. In a terminal window use the cd command to go to the directory where the ISO file is mounted and run the command.
sudo sh VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
You might have to install the following packages.
make gcc kernel-headers kernel-devel dkms

Your post is hard to follow, and you don't give us any details at all. You say you "configured the windows folder"...how??? Through what means did you configure things? Have you done any troubleshooting, like looking at log files or trying to mount the folder manually?? What environment is this in, and are there any firewalls in place? Has this ever worked?? And what kind of machine, because it looks like you're using VirtualBox...have you enabled bridging??

Hi Michaelk, Thank you so much .The problem got resolved , once i executed the " sudo sh VBoxLinuxAdditions.run " command.
agreed the explanation was bit confusing which troubled to other members too.will take care for the next time.
