Hey all, I've been lurking for months now and you all have helped me so much. Now it's time to be a part of this great community.

I (like many, many others) have had some difficulty with Samba. I have finally been able to get my SuSe box to access and create files on my Debian Samba Server but only if I use Konqueror. The share isn't seen but if I use the url "smb://debian/test/" it will ask for user name and password and everything works find (to my knowledge).

The problem is I cannot get in through the command line with smbclient. It will only give me the NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME error at the end.

My smb.conf (I've cleaned it up removing commented sections):

I've created a user named "test" on the debian server that has a home directory "/home/test/" and given test permissions to r-w-x. I also created the samba user "test" with the password of "test".

I have no firewalls running (I just installed debian with the simplest install and installed samba - that's it).

With Konqueror I use the url: [enter username and password) and it changes it to smb://test@debian/test and I can read and write no problem.

With smbclient I use the command: I've also tried: and I always end up with: *UPDATE*
In the process of writing this I decided to try this:Notice the missing trailing slash...

It works!!!! Man - I love this stuff.
Well, thanks anyway - it looks like I figured it out!
