[Samba] Re: Getting netbios alias to work

[Michael Lueck]

Well in the Windows world, it does the following. Glad Samba makes it easier, I'll have to try that sometime...

D:\>net use m: \\ldswnt01\data
The command completed successfully.

D:\>net use m: /del
m: was deleted successfully.

D:\>net use m: \\ldslns01\data
System error 52 has occurred.

A duplicate name exists on the network.

D:\>nslookup ldswnt01
Server:  ldswnt01.lds-ad.lueckdatasystems.com
Address:  10.10.10.10

Name:    ldswnt01.lds-ad.lueckdatasystems.com
Address:  10.10.10.10

D:\>nslookup ldslns01
Server:  ldswnt01.lds-ad.lueckdatasystems.com
Address:  10.10.10.10

Name:    ldswnt01.lds-ad.lueckdatasystems.com
Address:  10.10.10.10
Aliases:  ldslns01.lds-ad.lueckdatasystems.com
