Host name problems

[Mark Dailey]

flyawaycentral.com is the DNS name for the host. What you want to use is
the netbios name from the smb.conf file

e.g. I have a computer in the office. If I ssh to it i type
    ssh backup.studioresource.net
However if I want to get at the samba share I do
    smbclient -L //ratbert    
because in my smb.conf file I have the line
    netbios name = RATBERT

If you really want to use DNS names, then you will have to play with the
setting 
    name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast dns
in the smb.conf file. I haven't personally ever found a need to use it,
so I can't say exactly how it works.
