[Samba] smbclient -M "connection fails"

[Fabrice Ling]

Hello,

 

I've been trying to get the smbclient -M to work but I'm running into
some troubles.

 

I want from a Linux box to display one of those popups, I can get a few
command to work fine which is where my issue is:

 

The windows machine I'm trying to send it to is 10.10.10.168 (or
ENGS1004 NetBIOS name).

 

When I do:

 

smbclient -U fling%password -L ENGS1004.switchnet.nv

 

I get:

 

Domain=[SWITCHNET] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

 

        Sharename       Type      Comment

        ---------       ----      -------

        IPC$            IPC       Remote IPC

        Empty           Disk      

        ADMIN$          Disk      Remote Admin

        C$              Disk      Default share

session request to ENGS1004.SWITCHN failed (Called name not present)

Domain=[SWITCHNET] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

 

        Server               Comment

        ---------            -------

 

        Workgroup            Master

        ---------            -------

 

When I do:

 

mount -t cifs -o user=fling //10.10.10.168/Empty /mnt/bleh/

 

and enter my password, it mounts the drive properly and I can browse the
remote directory.

 

But when I try:

 

smbclient -U fling%password -M ENGS1004.switchnet.nv

 

I'm getting:

 

Connection to ENGS1004.switchnet.nv failed

 

Is the -M working completely differently from the other aspects of samba
and requires specific setup to work?

 

I've did a test with other computer that aren't attached to a domain and
got it to work, but this is just giving me troubles.

 

Any body would have a hint of what the issue could be? I can't find any
log or error anywhere to lead me to what the problem could be.

 

Thanks
