Joel@hammershome.com: Re: smbclient error

[Joel Hammer]

A service is a share made available by samba or by the windows computer.
smbclient -L hostname
will list the services on the host.
smbclient \\\\hosthame\\service
will attach to the service
For example:
smbclient \\\\hammer1\\public
will attach to the share public on host hammer1
