[gentoo-user] VMWare host-only networking question

[Martin Polley]

Hi all,

I am trying out VMWare to run Win2K inside Gentoo, but I cannot seem to get host-only networking to work.

I am running Samba (not the one installed with VMWare), and the only time I can get the host to appear in the guest OS is when I specify

    netbios name = gentoo

in smb.conf. (The actual host name is NOT gentoo, but when I use "localhost", I get nothing,)

But Win2K tells me that "Gentoo" is not accessible...

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

TIA,
