I have Linux RH7 host and Win98 guest. This is a standalone machine so
host only networking is enabled. Accessing network neighbourhood
requests a password for //localhost/IPC$. neither the root password nor
my user password are accepted (the only two set up) - Any thoughts would
be gratefully accepted

An easy way to fix this would be to change the line in your
/etc/smb.conf from:
security = user
to
security = share
/etc/smb.conf from:
security = user
to
security = share
You might also need to run smbadduser to add the linux users into your
samba user database (or just make all your shares public)
Hope that helps.
Alex.

This is really more of a Samba issue than VMware. I'd suggest perusing the
Samba docs, especially the stuff on authentication. If you haven't set it up
with smbpasswd, it could be a problem!
