Hi,

Have a few machines running Virtual Box 2.0.2. Most are WinXP one is Vista

I've installed openSuSE 11 on all as the Guest OS and have full network access and can ping the outside world and get updates on the openSuSE guests. (network connection working properly)

All of the Guest need to share a Samba share.

On WinXP there is no issue, the Samba share can be seen external to the Host.

On the Vista machine i can not see the Samba share external to Vista. Though i can see it internal, on the openSuSE Guest.

Any idea on what i've messed up here?

Any idea on what i've messed up here?

Using Vista as an OS .
Vista is known for these kind of issues. The networking part just doesn't work as it should. The network identity could have something to do with it. See if you can see a share of one of the XP hosts. If you do, it should see it of the other Guests.
What if you enter the full share name manually?

Just did not have the smb.conf correct ... it is as simple as

# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented
# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.
