Hi Erik,

VMWare will set up it's own SAMBA server so that Windoze clients
installed in VMWare can access you Host's local drives.

If you check in the file mentioned (/etc/samba/smb.conf) like the
message say and hit enter.

You normally should not have a problem as long as The "interfaces" line
does not contain "172.16.150.1/255.255.255.0" and There is a "socket
address" line that contains only your real host IP address.

If you don't have SAMBA set up on your host, don't worry about it.

I have been using VMWare for over a year and I have never had problems
with the default settings that the config script suggest.

If you do have a SAMBA server configured on your system, you can select
'no' when the script asks if you want the clients to access your host's
file systems.

Hope this helps
