[linux-cifs-client] SMB support still missing?

[Christopher R. Hertel]

Have you tried using smbclient to verify that the share is really available?
 The "Host is down" message suggests a name resolution failure, but I
haven't studied the CIFS VFS error messages so that's just a guess.  What do
you get when you enter "nmblookup cl0"?
