hi everybody..

i have configured Samba on my RHEL5 machine,and samba version is 3.0.23c-2.

i am trying to access the samba share from my linux machine
it gives the following error

[root@node1 ~]# smbclient //10.10.40.211/root/smbshare -U mary
Password:
Domain=[NODE2] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.23c-2]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
[root@node1 ~]#

What interfaces is your smb.conf bound to? Is it set to specific IP's or subnets?

can you ping 10.10.40.211 ?

Hi

Are you able to view sharing directories?

Code:

smbclient -L //10.10.40.211/IBM -U mary

use share name when you access samba from client side.

Code:

smbclient //10.10.40.211/IBM -U mary
