Mikkel ... ... have a wireless network system in my office, my computers all have their C:, D:, etc files shared, send stuff back and forth all the time .. for purposes of discussion, my too main players are:
My Desktop - Workgroup: HKwork, Computer name: Faster (has MD 6.0 working in CLI mode, regular bootup on separate partition) My Laptop:- Workgroup: Workgroup, Computer name: Best (has MD 10.1 working in KDE in Virtual Machine) .... so, on the MD 6.0 on the desktop, Linux is .HKwork.Faster ..... and, on the MD 10.1 on my laptop Linux is .Workgroup.Best ... so the sharing stuff has been in place for some time, my question is what line of code do I use employing smb4k to see Windows platforms ? (something) smb4k (something) ( HKwork/Faster/C something) HK -----Original Message----- From: Mikkel L.

You may want to create just one directory for moving files between the two systems. You may also have to make some adjustments on the firewall in XP to let Linux connect from inside VMware. I think this is still covered in the VMware documentation. In any case, it is the same as setting up XP to share a directory with other machines in the local network. It also helps if you use the same workgroup name in XT and smb4k. As a test, you should be able to see the directory you have set up from your desktop system when both it, and the laptop are on the same network. If the two machines running Windows can not share files, then Linux running in VMware is probably going to have problems as well. A second way would be to configure Samba under Linux, and have it share out a directory. You would have to use XP to transfere files between this directory and the XP file system. One quick way to set up a directory for sharing is to double-click on the hard drive icon on the desktop, navigate to the directory you would like to share. Right click on it, pick "Properties", and then "Local Net Shating". You will probably have to enter the root password, and enable this. It may also ask to install some packages. Let it.
