Hi all,
I added in "search tm.net.my", and did a "smbclient -L saturn". The result....same problem, same error mesg (see below).
When I typed in "smbclient -L saturn -I 192.168.0.2", it gives the same error mesg (Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host saturn. ...)
, and then follows by "....being unfriendly....".
Just wondering if someone can tell me what files smbclient are looking for exactly. Looks like smbclient
couldnt "see" one of the required files or something.
p/s: Pls cc reply to mailto:chng at radon.comm.mot.com . Thank you.
