Yeah, seems like it. Output from mount when debug=3 is:
resolve_lmhosts: Attempting lmhosts lookup for name example<0x20>
resolve_hosts: Attempting host lookup for name example<0x20>
resolve_wins: Attempting wins lookup for name example<0x20>
resolve_wins: WINS server == <127.0.0.1>
bind succeeded on port 0
Negative name query response, rcode 0x03: The name requested does not
exist.
name_resolve_bcast: Attempting broadcast lookup for name example<0x20>
bind succeeded on port 0
2621: Connection to example failed
SMB connection failed

I would assume that it fails because example is on a different subnet
than my machine, but we are in the same workgroup.

From what I can tell, gnomba calls smbmount.  The only difference is
that gnomba passes the ip address as an option and I don't.  I would
like to find a way not to have to since I haven't in the past.

Thanks,
