Hi again.

Do you want this script to probe for an unused private subnet? (yes/no/help) [yes] yes
Probing for an unused private subnet (this can take some time).
The subnet 172.16.150.0/255.255.255.0 appears to be unused.
This system appears to have a CIFS/SMB server (Samba) configured for normal use. If this server is intended to run, you need to make sure that it will not conflict with the Samba server setup on the private network (the one that we use to share the host's filesystem). Please check your /etc/samba/smb.conf file so that:
. The "interfaces" line does not contain "172.16.150.1/255.255.255.0" . There is a "socket address" line that contains only your real host IP address
Hit enter to continue.
Can you tell me what to do ? --
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.
