Hi Scott... What IP address is the Server on?

Make sure you can ping the server from your workstation, then try
smbclient -L PIXO_NET -I insert_ip_address_here

And let us know what happens.


Do your clients have an lmhosts file or do they rely on a WINS server to
find Servers on different Subnet?
