I'm not sure how close this comes to being a solution nor whether it's an available option for you (you don't say which version of VMware you're using, e.g., Workstation vs. Server, nor which of the 17 Vista versions you're using).
Anyway, the simple observation is that with VMware workstation, at least, you can configure any number of virtual network adaptors with separate MAC addresses (naturally) and then use whatever guest OS capabilities exist for handling multiple network adaptors.
So it seems at least plausible that you could configure one (virtual) adaptor to connect to your VPN and another to connect to your home LAN and thence access your SMB-based print server.
Sorry for the confusion. This is not when I'm running VMWare (player) or Virtual Box (closed-source version) - it is when I'm directly connected to the corporate LAN. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com government is a process which utilizes 45.5% gut reaction, 45.5% laws and statutes and 1% logic -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
