I have SAMBA server running between Mandy 9.2 and Windows98

when i issuse this command

# smbclient //192.168.1.1/C
added interface ip=192.168.1.2 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
session request to 192.168.1.1 failed (Called name not present)
session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present)

but when i issuse this command it works properly,

# smbclient //c5m9x2/C
added interface ip=192.168.1.2 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
smb: \> ls


why it is not working even its entry is mapped into /etc/hosts file
as

#/etc/hosts
192.168.1.1 c5m9x2

uff, no idea. why don't you try to put an entry in /etc/fstab so that you only have to run

mount /some/where

and you get it?

have a while,

leg

which entry?

for example:

//10.149.47.2/alle /mnt/mordor/ smbfs user,auto,username=u-name-here,password=passwd-here 0 0

try the manuals from smbmount and mount!!!

have a nice day,

thanks
