Hello all!

   I've readed somes docs and I found nothing about the
following trouble : I can't connect to my sbmd server using
the following : '\\MYRH72SMBDSERVERNAME\'.  I always got
a error message like : 'Share name could not be found, make
sure you typed it correctly....' , but if I utilize \\10.x.x.x\ all is
working fine (I don't want to access using the \\IP\ way... )

   Our DNS didn't use our samba name, but use something like
that : static52.domainname.com .  It's a NMBD bug (I think not...
but I don't really know... )? Did I miss something ? (hehE)

Thx in advance ;)

If it can help, here is my smb.conf
