[Samba] smbmount question

Thanks for the reply.  One of the Samba servers is also acting as WINS.  I've set up the NT system with the WINS info but have to wait until the end of the day to boot it for the WINS setup to take effect.

Will let you know the results.

Thanks,

Subject:	Re: [Samba] smbmount question

I can reproduce this error on my home system in the following way.

My home system has two subnets.

If I try to smbclient -L a server (XP) on a different subnet, using 
smbclient -L 192.168.1.9
I get the following error:

INFO: Debug class all level = 3   (pid 24708 from pid 24708)
added interface ip=192.168.0.2 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
session request to 192.168.1.9 failed (Called name not present)
session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)

However, the shares are all listed and things seem to be normal.

If I use the server winsbios name (which is the same as the dsn name)
smbclient -L elsa, I get the shares listed without any error messages.

This only occurs when I try to smbclient -L to a different subnet.

So, what happens when you try the NT server winsbios name, instead of
the server IP address, assuming you have got a winserver and your linux
box knows about it with the wins server parameter in smb.conf?

4.0, SP3.  The share on that server is called "manage."  The IP of the NT
server is 192.168.204.100.  The Samba server is on a different network
at 210.111.222.123.  There is a directory named "Man" that will be used
as the mount point on the samba server.  > > > I issue the command: > >
