There is actually no need to setup samba on the VM - you can use the
shared folders capability of VMWare Tools which is already installed on the VM. However I am not sure if you are using the free VMware player - this feature may not be available on it?<br>

Very many thanks for setting up a VMWare appliance for maemo! This allowed<br>me to compile and run the canonical 'Hello world' example in just a few<br>hours -- I hadn't run Linux for a few years; it's good to be back :-).

<br>XP host. I'm almost there, but not quite:<br><br>I installed Samba using the synaptic package install, then used Share<br>Folders to set a share for my home directory (and also set the workgroup<br>name for my local network). All seemed to take, but:
