[NTLUG:Discuss] VMWare and Samba

Since we've gotten some discussion going on VMWare I'll pop a question
I've had on the back burner.

Has anyone gotten VMWare running and happy with Samba?  I was not able
to make my setup happy with version 1.1.

In particular my system has 1 box at an external site using ISDN to
connect to the office.  In the office I have 1 box running Samba and
acting as a WINS and NT login server.  When I put VMWare on the box at
the external site I can't get it to talk to a Samba server on the box
it's running on.  The problem causes a pain with having mutliple users
logging on to Win98.  From Win98 running in VMWare I can access network
services but without the login ability I can't give users private access
to their local (Linux) home directory.

Any ideas would be helpful.
