hmm ... so, when you run windows explorer, does it appear as a removable drive? Or, as another hard disk? Or, as a network resource?
As I mentioned, it's reported as Network Drive whose file system is HGFS. And yes, it's there in Windows Explorer as well as in the usual variety of Open and Save dialogs within applications.
No, it works fine for me. This is on a SuSE Linux 10.0 release. If I'm not mistaken, this feature is not available in VMware Server (the $free version). ...
I've run vmware workstation 5.x, 5.5 and now 6.x on everything from suse 10 to SLED 10 --
Sure wish I could get this to work ... as it is, each time I need to do something with a windows tool, I then have to store the file in the vm. Drag and drop and copy/paste of the files works ... but it seems ridiculous to have to have 2 versions, or to have to constantly copy back and forth to maintain the correct version in both places ...
Perhaps it something about how you installed or configured VMware? I know the configuration Perl script asks you a lot of questions. One of them might bear on the availability of the shared folders function. If you've been carrying forward your earlier configurations, it might be something you did long ago.
