Using a Samba Server for Both Bridged and Host-only Networks
You may use the Samba server of your choice—either the existing Samba server from your host operating system's distribution or the one provided with VMware Workstation—for both host-only and bridged networking. To do so, you must modify one parameter in the smb.conf file. You can define the interface parameter so your Samba server serves multiple interfaces. An example of this is:
interface = eth0 vmnet1
This example tells the Samba server that it is to listen to and use both the eth0 and vmnet1 interfaces—the interfaces used by bridged and host-only networking, respectively.
