from what I've read, it seem like the VMWare workstation should honor the old API's. 'aux/vmwarefs -?' might give enough info to run it.

cifs should also work. in your original post it wasn't obvious that both machines are windows; i assumed one was a unix box with no cifs available.

when you run cifs with debug flags on, what does it say when it tries to mount the local host?
