When you specify the server name as 10.110.4.106 smbmount first tries to
send that string as the server name (one of the parameters when connecting
is that the client should give the name of the server).
Failing that it tries to use the name up to the first .
Failing that it tries to use *SMBSERVER, which works (else you would have
had that error printed too).
"Called name" is the netbios name of the server.
In all cases it has attempted to connect to ip 10.110.4.106. The quiet way
to do this is to use:
mount -t smb -o username=... //servername/software
Or if your machine doesn't know which ip matches 'servername':
mount -t smb -o username=...,ip=10.110.4.106 //servername/software
If you don't know the netbiosname of the server I guess you could try
this:
mount -t smb -o username=...,ip=10.110.4.106 //*SMBSERVER/software
Or just live with the harmless errors.
