<pre wrap="">Michael,
Instead of the name "babbage" could you try connecting to the samba
server's IP address? This will tell you if the problem is basic network
connectivity or just a browsing/name resolution problem.
That is, type "net use \\172.16.1.x\sharename" instead of "net use
\\babbage\sharename" .

Thanks Jim,
Unfortunately, using the ip address directly does not help.
But I can ping both both ips from the vm and the vm from the host. I allow
ports 137-139.
If the samba server is 192.168.1.1 and tap0 is 172.16.1.1:
Samba host ip,
Doesn't Work: net use \\192.168.1.2\share
Tap ip:
Doesn't Work: net use \\172.16.1.1\share
</pre>

What does it mean "doesn't work" ? What error message do you get?
Just because you don't get a drive mapping doesn't mean there isn't
useful information in the error message, so you should try to include
as much information as possible when asking for help.<br>
<br>
>From your client then could you please try these commands:<br>
<br>
telnet 192.168.1.2 139<br>
telnet 192.168.1.2 445<br>
telnet 172.16.1.1 139<br>
telnet 172.16.1.1 445<br>
<br>
If those ports can not be connected-to then the problem is firewall
rules on your samba server. If those ports CAN be connected to, then
try "net view \\192.168.1.2" or "net view \\172.16.1.1" and let us know
what you get, including error messages if you don't get a share list.<br>

The odd part is that I it sometimes allows connections to the samba server
from the xp vm box, and sometimes it cannot even find babbage. This is even if
I am sitting at home and babbage, the server, has a static ip.
I also have already tried adding babbage to the hosts file on the xp vm box
(and restarting)

I started down this path.... but I don't remember if It was a dead end or not.
I will look into it. It is quite possible my firewall rule is blocking nmbd
traffic, as I am not specifically allowing for it. Thank you.
