[Samba] Vmware and samba

Tue Feb 11 19:14:39 GMT 2003

I'm not able to use samba and vmnetnat. Please help me because this is
making me crazy.

I use XP on an ADSL connection. PPPoE IP is assigned dinamically. Eth0
IP can be assigned dinamically or statical *tried both*

RedHat 8.0 is the guest, XP service pack 1 is the host. I also uses
sygate firewall on XP *but i set allow all for testing*

Linux routes via NAT and it works fine (even DNS resolution).
If i play with vmnetnat.cfg adding

18401 = 192.168.100.128:22
13139 = 192.168.100.128:139

I can access guest (i can log in with slogin and see the smb
port). So port forwarding works!

But this is just a test which is ok for ssh, but NOT for browse with
XP's explorer (am i wrong?)

If i try to browse directly the address NAT and Host hardware i always
see my XP shares not the RedHat ones.

All this stuff work better and trasparently in vmware 3.1!

Any suggestion?
