[linux-cifs-client] CIFS mount works when I specify IP address, butnotwhen I only specify hostname

[BJ Quinn]

Why would the TCP name be wrong?  Why wouldn't there be a slash between
the computer name and share name?  Anyway, I tried mounting
//myworkgroup.mycomputer/c (and I tried seeing if it was a case
sensitivity problem too - I tried to mount //myworkgroup.mycomputer/C and
that didn't work either.).  I looked at that computer through smbclient
and it listed a share name of C, so that should work.  What am I missing
here?  Still the same error
