Well the Win2K box is named BUGS, and everything resolves correctly as you
can see in the output I had attached. So, I don't think it's a name issue. I
also went through all the troubleshooting docs on name resolution and
everything checks out fine.

I can access the samba share on the linux box via smbclient, but smbclient
cannot attach to the Win2K box shares. I get the same 'not listening on
called name' error message.

Not yet...but that's what I was going to try today, 'cause I'm stumped! :)
Any other ideas/suggestions? Thanks for the input by the way.
