Connecting to samba share from windows guest on KVM

1. Install samba server. I will not explain this here as it depends on your linux distribution.
2. Configure it: cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
   [WorkShare]
   comment = Host Share
   path = /home/mansour/work/
   valid users = mansour
   public = yes
   writable = yes
   printable = no
   
3. Now we need add "mansour" to samba users. If you don't this, you wont be able to login to the share!
   smbpasswd -a mansour
   
4. start your KVM :
   kvm -m 2G -vga std -smp 2 -net nic,vlan=1 -net user,vlan=1 my-window-xp-pro.im
   
5. From window Start --> Run : \\10.0.2.2\WorkShare
   enter the username and password, and you should be able to view the files in your share.
   

For reference: Use Windows XP on Gentoo Linux with KVM
