Alright figured it out - you have to enable Webclient service on the server and restart the server.
I guess "You were not connected because a Duplicate Name exists on the Network" is one of those Microsoft errors that doesn't help much.

mount.ntfs consumes 100% CPU
have high cpu usage problem for your vmware application which runs on linux and the virtual machine files in NTFS partition,
you have to add:
mainMem.useNamedFile= FALSE"
to your .vmx file of you virtual machine.
this will solve the high cpu usage of mount.ntfs-3g.

------------------------------
The following are instructions on how to apply the patch:
Download the VMware Server:
Download the VMware Server update patch:
$ wget -N http://risesecurity.org/~rcvalle/VMware-server-2.0.2-203138-update.patch
Extract VMware Server:
$ tar -xzf VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386.tar.gz
Extract VMware Server modules:
Change working directory to vmware-server-distrib/lib/modules/source/
$ tar -xf vmci.tar
$ tar -xf vmmon.tar
$ tar -xf vmnet.tar
$ tar -xf vsock.tar
Apply the patch:
Change working directory to vmware-server-distrib/
patch -p1 < ../VMware-server-2.0.2-203138-update.patch
Change working directory to vmware-server-distrib/lib/modules/source/
$ rm -f vmci.tar
$ rm -f vmmon.tar
$ rm -f vmnet.tar
$ rm -f vsock.tar
* cd vmnet-only
* vim vnetUserListener.c
* go to the last include line
* add this line #include “compat_sched.h”
Archive VMware Server modules again:
$ tar -cf vmci.tar vmci-only/

Run installer script as root:
Change working directory to vmware-server-distrib/
$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl
Note about VMware Remote Console Plug-in:
The VMware Remote Console Plug-in does not work properly on Ubuntu 9.10, Fedora 12 and other newer distributions. A workaround for this is to set the environment variable VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK before running the VMware Remote Console Plug-in. To set this environment variable at login time, add the following line to your ~/.profile:
export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes
install package linux-pam
rename the file /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd.slack to "other"
open the file and change the link to your lib folder where containing pam lib files (lib/security)

How to umount when the device is busy
It happens all the time doesn’t it? You need to unmount a CD or you want to pack away the external drive but when you try to umount it you get the dreaded “device is busy” message. Wouldn’t it be great if Linux actually told you what was keeping the drive busy? Here we are in 2008, I’m using Ubuntu Gutsy, and that message hasn’t changed in all the years I’ve used Linux.
# umount /media/disk/
umount: /media/disk: device is busy
umount: /media/disk: device is busy
First thing you’ll do will probably be to close down all your terminals and xterms but here’s a better way. You can use the fuser command to find out which process was keeping the device busy:
# fuser -m /dev/sdc1
/dev/sdc1: 538
# ps auxw|grep 538
donncha 538 0.4 2.7 219212 56792 ? SLl Feb11 11:25 rhythmbox
Rhythmbox is the culprit! Close that down and umount the drive. Problem solved!

2.6.32 kernel & vmware
For those who choose to try using the 2.6.32 kernel, there are two fixes to get the modules to compile. In each of
vmet-only/vnetUserListener.c
vmci-only/linux/vmciKernelIf.c
add an #include for compat_sched.h. Repackage the .tar files, and VMware will happily compile the modules.

Bypassing Windows Unknown Publisher Verification For Web Downloaded Executables
SOURCE:
http://www.efblog.net/2009/12/bypassing-windows-unknown-publisher.html
I was in another day of jumping from a client to a client, securing another bank in Israel when my girlfriend called and said "Honey, I am at the office, I have absolutely nothing to do and I can't connect from here to our computer at home to continue my project". I said, O.K, let's see what we can do on a 5 minute phone call. Now just want to make it clear, my girlfriend is an Information System Instructor, she is no developer or hacker.
Me: "Honey, go to http://www.teamviewer.com, can you download it?"
Her: "yes, but when I run the setup.exe it says something weired like 'windows has blocked this software because it can't verify the publisher' and it won't let me install"
Me: "O.K, Open Start-Run, type notepad and space, now click on setup.exe and drag it to the text box at Start->Run. Now add ':Zone.Identifier' just before the last quotes. What do you see?"
Her: "I see something like ZoneId=3, now what?"
Me: "I can't talk, going into a meeting, try to change it to 1 or delete everything, bye bye bye"
After 10 minutes I get an SMS "thanks honey it worked!!!".
Well we found a bug, I wouldn't really call it a "Privilege Escalation" but I guess you don't have to be a hacker to bypass windows security restrictions :)
