There is actually no need to setup samba on the VM - you can use the shared
folders capability of VMWare Tools which is already installed on the VM.
However I am not sure if you are using the free VMware player - this feature
may not be available on it?

Very many thanks for setting up a VMWare appliance for maemo! This

I'm running as a virtual machine on a Windows XP host, and I think the one
think I need before being able to start a serious application port to the
N800 is to be able to share files easily between the virtual machine and
the
XP host. I'm almost there, but not quite:
I installed Samba using the synaptic package install, then used Share
Folders to set a share for my home directory (and also set the workgroup
name for my local network). All seemed to take, but:
-- I cannot see any of the Windows machine (or myself) in the Windows
Network on Ubuntu
-- from the Windows side, I can see the machine UBUNTU-MAEMO (so I
think
Samba is running OK) -- but when I try and connect to the share the
Password dialog just gets re-presented, as though the user and
password
are wrong.
Any ideas?
