I don't know if it is right on this list but it drives me cracy and it is
probably somthing stupid that I do wrong.
I have problems to connect from a
Linux(Samba) computer to NT. I can connect without any problems from NT to
Linux. The name pservgul is in the host file in the DNS and the computer name is
pservgul. I am sure about that.

weis at test:/home/weis > smbclient \\\\pservgul\\netlogon
Added interface ip=172.30.10.24 bcast=172.30.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0
Session request failed (131,130) with myname=TEST destname=PSERVGUL
Called name not present
Try to connect to another name (instead of PSERVGUL)
You may find the -I option useful for this

weis at test:/home/weis > smbclient //pservgul/netlogon
Added interface ip=172.30.10.24 bcast=172.30.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0
Session request failed (131,130) with myname=TEST destname=PSERVGUL
Called name not present
Try to connect to another name (instead of PSERVGUL)

I get the same when I try it with the -I option.
When I use nmblookup I get that:

weis at test:/home/weis > nmblookup pservgul
Sending queries to 172.30.255.255
name_query failed to find name pservgul

weis at test:/home/weis > nmblookup -A pservgul
Sending queries to 172.30.255.255
Looking up status of 172.30.10.30 <<< That is the right IP address.
No status response (this is not unusual)

weis at test:/var/lock > more browse.dat
"HWSMICRO"                c0001000 "PSERVGUL"                    "HWSMICRO"
"TEST"                    40019a03 "Samba 1.9.18p2"              "HWSMICRO"
"PSERVGUL"                4006120b ""                            "HWSMICRO"

Does someone know what I do wrong? The network uses a scope id. I do not know
if that is important but Samba is configured to the right scope id. I get the
same problem if I have NT and samba without a scope id. Thanx for any help
