Session Request Failed

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Alex,
It might be helpful to post your smb.conf file, along with your network
setup for the machine you are running this on;  it almost sounds like your
WWW name is being resolved to an ip address where samba
is not listening...
Hope this helps,
Don

I've been going through the DIAGNOSIS.txt file trying
to figure out why my PCs are only seeing IPC$ on my
Samba server, and I've reached an interesting problem.

When running smbclient -L WWW (the name of the host) I
get:

added interface ip=209.190.205.236
bcast=209.190.205.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=192.168.2.69 bcast=192.168.2.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
session request to WWW failed (Not listening for
calling name)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening
for calling name)

Smbd is definitely running, along with nmbd (I started
both manually with the -D option). Why would it not be
listening? Is this likely the cause of my IPC$ error?

Thanks,
Alex Le Fevre
