Yup, to my knowledge, Samba will only accept
NetBios Names. If the name does not resolve (ie.
on a different subnet, with no WINS server or
other means to resolve netbios names, use the -I
switch. Ex: smbclient //netbiosname/share -I
192.168.80.1
The syntax for smbmount may be different (it used
to be the same as smbclient, but was later changed
to resemble entries in fstab)
