I'm running a Samba PDC at home (v2.2.5, recently upgraded from v2.2.3 in an
attempt to solve this problem) on RedHat 7.3.

I have domain logon, printing and all that good stuff working just fine to a
couple of XP and 2000 clients.

But, I want to mount a couple shares from the domain clients to the server,
and that works just fine except for one client.

	fujisawa(6) ~> smbmount //cybertron/share /mnt/win
	INFO: Debug class all level = 3   (pid 28027 from pid 28027)
	mount.smbfs started (version 2.2.5)
	added interface ip=192.168.1.60 bcast=192.168.1.255 
		nmask=255.255.255.0
	resolve_lmhosts: Attempting lmhosts lookup for name cybertron<0x20>
	resolve_hosts: Attempting host lookup for name cybertron<0x20>
	Connecting to 168.100.250.95 at port 139

All the machines should have 192.168.X.X IP addresses--I'm not sure where it's
getting 168.100.250.95 from. A nmblookup finds it just fine:

	fujisawa(11) ~> nmblookup cybertron
	querying cybertron on 192.168.1.255
	192.168.1.101 cybertron<00>

Though I'm not sure where the <0x20> and <00> are supposed to signify.

Any thoughts? All the rest of the clients in the domain are resolving
properly. (the faulty machine in question was running Win2k Pro, and is now
running WinXP Pro after a clean reinstall).
