Hi everyone

I am running RedHat 9.0 on a VMware on Window XP, I have bridged the network card eth0 such that
I can ping the host machine 192.168.45.67 and the Windows XP machines on my LAN.

I managed to set up the samba server on this Redhat 9.0, And I can see the netbios name on my WindowXP: Rhl
machines. Now I want to reach the Windows machines vi sambaclient but I get an Ip address that is not on my network -192.168.24.1.I did not set this IP address.

This is the message I get when I run smbclient so that I can reach windows machine when I am on Redhat:

# smbclient //machine name/name of user on windows machine
added interface ip=192.168.45.90 bcast=192.168.45.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from 192.168.45.21 (192.168.24.1 192.168.249.1 192.168.45.21
error connecting to 192.168.24.1:139 (Network unreachable)
Error connecting to 192.168.24.1 (Network is unreachable)
Connection to machine name failed
#
My question is Where does 192.168.24.1 IP address come from. Where must I look in order to remove it ( in Linux or Windowx Xp.

Pliz help me solve this problem. your contributions will appreciated.

Shouldn't this be
//machine_name/share_name

What is the IP of the windows machine (try "ipconfig /all") that
shares its folder/drive?
