Hi, i've just installed vmware 5.5 on a win2k SP4 machine, and i've installed a Suse 10.1 on the virtual machine. actually i'm using *only* the command line interface on linux, my goal is only to be able to compile the C++ source files i have on my windows partition with gcc on linux. in order to do this, i need to mount my windows partition in my linux, and i need to be able to write as well, as some files (other than just the object files) are generated while compiling. i think this should be possible by mounting the windows folders using samba. so i've installed samba on my linux (Version 3.0.22-11-SUSE-CODE10), and tried to connect to my windows shared folders. however, i always get some authentication or access failure. for instance, the following command: smbclient //fili/xlibs -U dvergnaud raises the following error: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE of course the computer does exist, the windows folder is shared, and the username and password are correct. if i try something like this: smbmount //fili/xlibs /mnt/temp -o username=dvergnaud i get the following error: 3600: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed
the weird thing is, it all works fine when doing it from another linux computer (where linux runs natively). that means, as i see it, that either there's a problem with VMware and samba working together, or my samba client is not properly configured -- although i'm not aware that it's much configurable... has anyone already had such a problem? or does anyone have an idea what i'm doing wrong? thx a lot for helping me out!
