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...
Managed to get it working - I needed to create an object in the Windows registry that recognised unencripted passwords. All done now.
I don't reckon I'll mess with the regular Samba at this time. Maybe if I ever have to network a second box I'll have a go.
Cheers.
