I don't have an eth0 (I only have dialup), but I do have a line:
interface = vmnet1 vmnet8
Without 'real" Samba, I could not get anything at all....
Maybe this is a users/permissions thing?
Thanks,

The VMWare docs say you only have to add one line to your smb.conf file. Do you have interface = eth0 vmnet1 in the smb.conf? This tells the samba server that it has to listen on eth0 and vmnet1. Of course the interface names should reflect the ones you're actually using. See page 307 of the VMWare docs. It says any samba Dean O.
