When you goto access the shared folder from inside the VM client (in my case ubuntu), just use the internal network address. make sure you have samba i.e. smb installed in ubuntu or its equivalent in your client OS.

I, therefore, cannot add it as a subscribed calendar. I think the only way round this is to get my friend to let my have the private url to their calendar. Does anyone know a better way of doing this? Thanks. A friend has let me “see” there calendar in Google Calendar, but because their calendar is set to private the ICAL public URL does not work.

This was due to the 32-bit overflow from MS SQL. To solve it follow this process in "Flag 3" - Checked the option "Limit Column Size to 32-bit range" Hope this helps anyone that is having problems.
