smbclient problem

[Ng Choon Hooi]

 Hi,
   yes, it is. Anyway, below are some of the diagnostics I have tried.
   
          Linux box                               Win95 Box
         =========                            ===========
   hostname: saturn                              tempest
   ip:   192.168.0.2                             192.168.0.1
 
 
 Below are the diagnostics that I have tried and I ahve logged them:
 
 1. From win95 (tempest):
 -----------------------
 c:\ping saturn
 Pinging saturn.tm.net.my [192.168.0.2] with 32 bytes of data:
 Reply from 192.168.0.2: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=255

 2. From  linux (saturn):
 -----------------------
 saturn:~# ping tempest
 PING tempest.tm.net.my (192.168.0.1): 56 data bytes
 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=32 time=2.3 ms

 --- tempest.tm.net.my ping statistics ---
  5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
 round-trip min/avg/max = 1.8/2.0/2.3 ms
 
 
 3. using netstat:
 --------------------
 saturn:~# netstat -a |more
 
   ** snip**
 tcp        0      0 *:netbios-ssn          *:*                    LISTEN
 root
 
   ** snip**
 
 4. inetd.conf file
 -------------------
 
   ** snip**
 
 netbios-ssn     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/smbd  smbd
 netbios-ns      dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/nmbd  nmbd
 
 5. /etc/hosts file
 -----------------
 127.0.0.1       localhost
 192.168.0.2             saturn.tm.net.my saturn
 192.168.0.1             tempest.tm.net.my tempest
 
 6. /etc/resolv.conf
 -----------------
 saturn:/etc# cat resolv.conf
 domain tm.net.my
 
 7. /etc/host.conf
 -----------------
 saturn:/etc# cat host.conf
 order hosts, bind
 multi on

I did look at some samba howto and stuff, but dont seem to find anywhere mentioning
this problem.

Thanks,
  Choon
