Hi, Geza and Jaimie, Thanks for the replies. I did "ps auxwww | grep smb", and I get:
root 1966 0.0 0.2 2568 1192 ? S Mar22 0:00 /usr/bin/vmware-nmbd -D -l /dev/null -s /etc/vmware/vmnet1/smb/smb.conf -f /var/run/vmware-nmbd-vmnet1.pid root 1976 0.0 0.2 3568 1376 ? S Mar22 0:00 /usr/bin/vmware-smbd -D -l /dev/null -s /etc/vmware/vmnet1/smb/smb.conf -f /var/run/vmware-smbd-vmnet1.pid root 2987 0.0 0.1 3572 628 pts/2 S 16:46 0:00 grep smb It appears that the VMware-installed Samba is running. Is this correct? I wasn't aware that I had installed Samba with VMware. I just chose all of the default options when I installed VMware. When I do "smbd -V", I get: Version 2.2.7a This is not the "regular" Smaba version which I installed after installing VMware. That version was 3.0.2a. I replaced /etc/vmware/vmnet1/smb/smb.conf with an smb.conf with my Linux host shares. The Linux host still doesn't show up on the Windows XP guest. And I still can't run smbclient on the Linux host. "smbclient -L localhost" gives: added interface ip=192.168.230.17 bcast=192.168.230.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=172.16.105.1 bcast=172.16.105.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=172.16.214.1 bcast=172.16.214.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 error connecting to 127.0.0.1:139 (Connection refused) Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused) Connection to localhost failed Is there a way to delete the Samba 3.0.2a installation that I put on after I installed VMware? I figure if I can at least know which Samba I'm running, I can follow the appropriate documentation on the VMware site.
