Vmware (Host-only) and Samba problem

[tigermanIT]

Hi Guys,

I can't mount windows xp shared folders from Linux RedHat VM.

I'm using VMware Workstation 6 and my network connection is Host-only.

Windows IP Configuration :

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 4:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : home

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.68

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

\[root@c4dev samba]# cat /etc/hosts

\# Do not remove the following line, or various programs

\# that require network functionality will fail.

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

192.168.2.90 c4dev

192.168.2.89 Spare110-lt

This is my smb.conf :

\[global]

\# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name

workgroup = MYGROUP

\# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field

server string = Samba Server

\# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict

\# connections to machines which are on your local network. The

\# following example restricts access to two C class networks and

\# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see

\# the smb.conf man page

hosts allow = 192.168.2.90 192.168.2.89 192.168.2. 192.168.1. 127.

log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log

\# all log information in one file

\# log file = /var/log/samba/smbd.log

\# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).

max log size = 50

\# Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See

\# security_level.txt for details.

security = user

encrypt passwords = yes

smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

\# Configure Samba to use multiple interfaces

\# If you have multiple network interfaces then you must list them

\# here. See the man page for details.

interfaces = 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.1.0/24 127.0.0.1

\[tmp]

comment = Temporary file space

path = /tmp

read only = no

public = yes

I've created a local user on Windows xp and a samba account on Linux (same password) but I got this error :

\[root@c4dev samba]# smbclient -L Spare110-lt -U testaccount

Password:

session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

This is the error when I try to check resources shared on windows xp with anonymous access :

\[root@c4dev samba]# smbclient -L spare110-lt

Password:

Anonymous login successful

Domain=\[MYDOM] OS=\[Windows 5.1] Server=\[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

Am I missing some configuration steps with VMware ? Please help me

Many thanks
