Fabrice,

Even without your latest patch, I have been able to mount SAMBA shares 
from the host to the guest with user-net. The only thing I had missed 
is that in order to have it work without a DNS on the network, I needed 
to create a LMHOSTS file. Thanks for the tip. However, I have had to 
patch slirp.c in order to continue when there is no network (patch 
included)

Host : Mac OSX 10.3.5
Guest : W98
SAMBA : The server included in 10.3.5
LMHOSTS : "SMBSERVER       10.0.2.2"
Mount shares as E: -> \\SBMSERVER\HOMES (if you have created a user as 
needed)
                                F: -> \\SMBSERVER\SHARED

I guess that that way, I might even be able to use SAMBA to print. I 
have Internet connectivity and SMB access to host. I'm happy.

Since I generated the patch the wrong way, you need to patch -R.
You also need the patch posted by Mark Jonckheere on Aug 31st  
(Message-Id: 	<address@hidden>).
