I prefer to NOT use the VMWare Samba - so that the "guest" is actually part of the real network. Making sure that Samba is setup correctly is another issue; the settings in Samba can be very cryptic, so the actual share you want to access has to be setup properly in order to have "workgroup" access. You might want to use SWAT via Webmin to setup your Samba server and help to synchronise the users/passwords - much better than doing it from the term...and more "intuitive" if you care to use that phrase... -- Sat Aug 2 10:20:00 EST 2003 10:20:00 up 1 day, 17:22, 1 user, load average: 1.28, 1.13, 0.99 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1+ & RH 9 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * "Home life as we understand it is no more natural to us than a cage is to a cockatoo." -- George Bernard Shaw
