Problems with Samba

(1/3) > >>

cheesecake:
This might be n00bish, but no matter what i do, i can't get samba running, and even if i could, i haven't been able to find anything in either the forums or the wiki to help. This could just be me, but i've seen a lot of problems with it before.
For the record I have tried (with vmware running):
In Start > Run typed "\\debian\user" but "the network address was not found"
Also tried this in internet explorer, and windows explorer.
Looked in My Network Places, but the only things there were VMware1 and VMware8, along with my normal internet connection (note: the VMware1 and 8 might not be spelled correctly, but the name is used to indicate something from vmware is running. Also, the numbers are correct.)
I tried resetting vmware, but none of the solutions i found worked under either root or user.
Help please???

bascule:
Although I said that thread I linked to might help you, it didn't actually help me at the time. I had exactly the same symptoms and none of the suggestions helped.

Although it's not a very satisfactory answer, if I were you, I would re-install a fresh copy of VMWare and the Rockbox image and try again. That was the only way I could get it to work... :(

You must have the Rockbox image actually running in VMWare.
There is no need to 'start' Samba, as it runs automatically within the Rockbox image

GodEater:
I seem to recall that most of the issues we get around this are to do with the way the networking is setup by the VMWare Player.

IIRC, NAT and Bridged don't work, and you have to use whatever the third option is (I fail to recall it's name).

Llorean:
The problem I encountered was with VMWare set to resume, as opposed to powering down and back up. Any time I forced it to fully power down the VM, the next time I used it, the networking would work. If I just let it suspend, the samba share wouldn't be available next time I ran it.

cheesecake:
Okay.
Well, i set the ethernet to host-only, and looked in my home directory (while the image was running), and there was nothing there.
I also tried start > run, but that didn't do anything.
I did this as both root and user (even though my files are under user), as well as with and without a shell running, each time restarting in between.
Are there any other ways to use samba???

Also, I can get my mp3 player mounted in vmware. Is it possible to copy the file from the image to there???
