I don't think anyone here ever tried to run samba on vmware. I think 
there are a lot of possible issues with that. But if you really want to 
do this, I'd suggest to give the virtual linux(?)-server a different 
IP-Address than the windows machine it's running on. I don't know 
whether that is easily possible with vmware but I'd say it's important 
that the virtual machine is known on the intranet as an independent 
machine. Probably you even have to have a separat physical network 
interface. But I really can't see the point of this at all anyway.
