It's always been called monsta. I've no idea where *SMBSERVER comes from.
Sure ain't my doing! (Samba is not case sensitive by default, is?)

Linbox can get the IP of monsta - at least with a ping, but Samba uses
Netbios names, doesn't it? I wonder if there's a problem there ...
fstab is correct, always has been. Linbox can't sees any of my other
winboxen either - same problem - and they don't have entries in fstab, so
it isn't that.
Now I notice on bootup that somebody modfied fstab - added things like
guest,noauto, and stuff, but it didn't change the name.
Must be something to do with Netbios, I guess.
Thanks for the clues !
