[Samba] Samba/Windows XP and SSH tunnelling

[François Mayrand]

Hi,

I've been trying to get SSH tunnelling working with Samba. I'm using a 
Windows XP and a RedHat 8.0 box. I've closely followed the instructions from 
the HOWTO manual in order to set this up to no avail.

I think the problem comes from the fact that my lmhosts file has no effect 
on the NetBIOS name cache when I preload it with the command 'nbtstat -R'. I 
checked the cache with 'nbtstat -c'.

This is what I have in my lmhosts file:

127.0.0.1 SAMBASERVER #PRE

If I change the IP to something other than 127.0.0.1 then it appears in the 
NetBIOS cache.

I get the following error message when I run the command 'net view 
\\sambaserver':

"System error 52 has occurred.

You were not connected because a duplicate name exists on the network. Go to 
System in Control Panel to change the computer name and try again."

Thanks for any leads

Franky
