Well, you don't have a LAN. I do not see where are you going to use SAMBA.
I have an old Windows installation in virtualbox. Occasionally I have to print from there with my local printer. Also I have a samba shared folder to copy files between Windows and openSUSE host. I used samba to share my printer and the shared folder. This works in openSUSE 12.2. virtualbox offers a vmnet0 network interface but it's not started until virtualbox is started.

First of all, it doesn't MATTER what anyone thinks about your use case... If you have the use case, you have no need or obligation to explain or justify it to ANYONE.
Yes, it does. If there is no LAN, there is no SAMBA. We need to know where is the LAN, where is the missing network interface that SAMBA uses. It turns out to be an internal interface, virtual. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
