Can't connect via IP Address

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Thomas,
I may be (probably am...) mistaken, but as I recall, win95/98 did not have
the ability to use ip address in the \\servername  format.  Windows NT does
- and it works just fine with samba, as it does with other NT servers.
Unfortunately I don't have win98se installed anywhere to test this; but you
might make a simple test from your win98se box to verify that it (as a
client) has this ability by trying the same test against the ip address of a
winnt server on your network.
Hope this helps,
Don

Hi All,

i can't connect to my Suse-6.3, Samba 2.0.6 NT-Domain with the use of
IP-Addresses. Using Netbios Names works fine and the nmbd log the name
request. Trying the same with the correct IP from Windows 98se (net view
\\192.168.80.1 instead of net vie \\elrond) rsult in a "host not found"
error message. Testing the same with ping or tracert works fine.

After browsing the faq and textdocs i'm still confused where to get more
info or help. Hopefully this is the right place.

greets

Tom
