Windoze (under vmware) warning! Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I set up vmware with windoze 2000 on it so I could run quickbooks for my accountant. It connects through samba (smb) to a couple of directories in my linux userspace on laptop "fred". Everything works OK when fred is plugged into the network and the local dns server.
When I remove fred from the network, fred forgets who he is, and smb will no longer connect. Bad configuration, the "windows shares" point at fred when I would prefer they point at localhost. But a half hour of websearch and frobbing brings me no closer to understanding how to set up an smb connected windoze letter drive that points to localhost. Is there a simple cookbook procedure usable by decaying minds like mine? Perhaps I haven't set up /etc/samba/smb.conf correctly.
