Hi, I just installed Red Hat 9 on a Dell Latitude D600 laptop. Then I installed VMware 4 and installed Windows XP as the guest operating system. I want to run Samba on the Red Hat 9 host to share files with the Windows XP guest. Each OS individually is running fine. I compiled Samba 3.0.2 on the Red Hat host, but I can't start Samba. I try starting it with "/usr/sbin/smbd -D", but "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb status" always shows that it's stopped. When I do "smbclient -L starsky", I get: 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 starsky failed starsky is the name of the Red Hat host. I also can't connect to starsky:901 to run SWAT. httpd is running on the host. Thanks for any suggestions, Hidong __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

VMWare has and requires it's own version of Samba for sharing files between the host and virtual machines. It is an optional component during install and can be read about in the online help or online at VMWare.com.

Saying yes is what triggers VMware to set up its own version of Samba. -- ______________________________________________________________ L.
