No subject

other  machine  with the  details  listed  above. Windows  NT  doesn't
prompt me for a password, and I can create/read/delete... files.

Now I'd like to connect to the machine using Linux.  So I tried:

[root at fp-2252 /etc]# mount -t smbfs -o username=John\ Doe
//164.56.65.199/transfer /mnt/Transfer
20313: session request to 164.56.65.199 failed (Called name not present)
20313: session request to 164 failed (Called name not present)
20313: session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present)
SMB connection failed

Okay, doesn't work.  The DNS name of the other computer is:

[root at fp-2252 /etc]# host 164.56.65.199
199.65.56.164.in-addr.arpa. domain name pointer dwh_coe_454.delphiauto.com.

dwh_coe_454 also seems to be the netbios name of the computer:

[root at fp-2252 /etc]# nmblookup dwh_coe_454
querying dwh_coe_454 on 206.122.137.255
164.56.65.199 dwh_coe_454<00>

Doing a "node status" on the IP returns:

[root at fp-2252 /etc]# nmblookup -A 164.56.65.199
Looking up status of 164.56.65.199
        DWHS037DYSXA887 <00> -         M <ACTIVE>
        WORKGROUP       <00> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>
        DWHS037DYSXA887 <03> -         M <ACTIVE>
        DWHS037DYSXA887 <20> -         M <ACTIVE>
        WORKGROUP       <1e> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>
        RZ98LH          <03> -         M <ACTIVE>

...which doesn't tell me anything at all...

Next I added this to /etc/hosts:
164.56.65.199  dwh_coe_454

And this to /etc/lmhosts:
164.56.65.199  dwh_coe_454

After this, I tried to list the available shares on the machine (which
Windows NT lists just fine using the IP adress):

[root at fp-2252 /etc]# smbclient -L dwh_coe_454
added interface ip=206.122.137.116 bcast=206.122.137.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
session request to DWH_COE_454 failed (Called name not present)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present)

mount "naturally" doesn't work either.

Well,  that's where  I'm stuck right now. Could someone *please* be so
kind  and show  me, what I'm doing  wrong? I had a look at google.com,
groups.google.com  and marc.theaimsgroup.com,  but  besides  a lot  of
other help requests like mine, I didn't find a solution.

Finally, I also tried calling smbclient with as much detail as I know,
but this also doesn't work :(

If somebody could help, I'd be VERY thankful,
Alexander Skwar
