bascule:
Well, thanks for everyone's help, all the things mentioned were OK on my PC; I even unzipped the .vmx file onto my C: drive (previously on a separate one) and ran that, but no difference.

It just isn't happening for me :(

I guess I'll stick with the FTP workaround for now, but at least I've managed to create my first patched compile, yay!

pabouk:
1. Check settings of the VMnet8 (and VMnet1) interface. It must have Client for Microsoft Networks enabled (as in the attached picture).
2. Test the name resolution by pinging the name from Windows:
--- Code: ---ping debian
--- End code ---
3. Try to use IP address instead of the name. You can determine the address in the Linux after typing:
--- Code: ---ifconfig
--- End code ---

it seems I have multiple problems. After trying everthing here, what finally made debian show up in my network connections was: opening my network connections, right clicking on VMnet1, and unchecking and rechecking all the selected boxes (you should have the same settings as before) then click ok. Do this for VMnet 1 and 8. After doing this, Debian showed up in my workgroup network. but then it would not let me browse it, giving me the attached error. Any ideas on this one?

LinuxGuy:
I am having exactly the same problem. I checked to see the required VMWare processes are running and that Client for Microsoft Networks is present. My virtual machine shows up in the workgroup but when I double click it, it gives the above error message. However I can ssh and ftp to my virtual machine without any problems. My Samba usernames and passwords are set up correctly (since it had worked on another machine using MS Virtual PC 2004).

I have my Windows XP firewall disabled and SELinux disabled on the virtual machine.

m6arate:
when i connect my player (iriver h10), at the top of VMware it shows a "portalplayer USB device" button. when I click it, my player disconnects from windows, and I would assume is mounted to the Linux? i don't know much about Linux, but would it be possible for me to copy the files there as a possible workaround?

also what if I tried using a different Linux distribution?
