Has anyone successfully made samba work using the vboxnet virtual 

internal LAN of VirtualBox to allow a MS Win client to print to the 

Linux CUPS printer under SL 6?



If so, I greatly would appreciate a copy of your samba configuration file.



With my configuration file, I get errors such as:



Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.4-68.el6_0.2]

tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE



using smbclient from the linux side.  This failure also happens when I 

use 127.0.0.1 as the allowed IP address (ifconfig -a shows lo on this 

address), not just the IP of vboxnet0 that does not exist except when 

VirtualBox is running a guest OS.



Also, if you have had success, how did you setup the password file for 

samba in terms of encryption, password program, etc.?  I have attempted 

to use both swat and webmin, as well as manual editing, but still cannot 

get samba to work.  Note that I do NOT want samba on any external IP 

address, but only on an internal network.



I had gotten samba to work with VMWare a number of years ago, but my 

notes from that epoch are not solving the current problems.  For lack of 

licensing funding, I cannot run VMWare workstation at this time.
