[Samba] Mounting an NT share on Linux Server

[Tom Ansley]

I forgot to add the error message for the problem.....sorry

I get wins-srv-died(): WINS server 130.253.166.42 appears to be down.
Connection to Fac-Staff failed

But, as I mentioned before, I can connect fine from my workstation.

Thanks

Tom Ansley
