Host-Only Samba Install Vista Host Fedora Guest
Posted: 16. Jan 2010, 20:19
Hello,
I am working on 3 days setting up SAMBA for my guest fedora 11 VM. this is also the first time I have set up SAMBA on a Linux instance, so I am not sure if even that is working correctly.
I have a few questions. and below is my SAMBA Config file:
1) will the Host be able to see the Guest using Host-only networks.
2) What specificly needs to be done to the SELINUX to allow the windows machine to see the Fedora Share.
3) Is the Samba file correct for what I am trying to accomplish.
4) what logs can I look at to see if anything is wrong on either side of the interface.
5) the Host only network is the 192.168.56.x VBOX is x.x.x.101, Linux is x.x.x.1
6)
As I have never seen a working SAMBA configuration, I do not know what it should behave like when viewed from LINUX or Windows. So I am sort of grasping at straws determining what My next steps should be.
I already reloaded Samba, and the client using YUM and the SMB service is installed, and started in FEDORA.
IFCONFIG
Any help is greatly appreciated in order to get started.
