Anybody had the same problem? I had something similar - the symptom was that the vmnet* was broken. Creating the device nodes helped, but win-whatever would still complain and say "There's another machine with the same name on this network". Turned out that I needed to re-run my firewalling rules *after* /etc/init.d/vmware - I had them set up to run quite early in the proces. In the end I re-installed vmware and told it to use /usr/local/etc/init.d and /usr/local/etc/rc*.d - the default priorities for it did not fit too well with samba (and my firewalling). HTH -- Karl E.
