vmware: problem accessing host with samba

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've been reading this list for a while but this is the first time that I post a question. I'm not sure if this is the right place for this. Forgive me if it's not.

I've installed VMware 3.2 in my RH 8.0 box. I've also installed the patch needed for VMware. Everything works fine except this:

Accesing host files with samba from the virtual machine (win 98) is very slow. I use host's samba server, not vmware's. I've tried both bridged and host-only, but the problem is the same. In bridged mode I can access another samba server (RH 7.3) with no problem.

If I do the exactly the same in the other machine (RH 7.3 - VMvare 3.1) there is no problem. So I guess it may have something to do with hardware. I've also tried stoping this server, so there is no conflict.

I've been searching for some information through google but I have not seen anything like it anywhere. I'd apreciate any suggestions you can make or any places I could search for help.
