Hi team,

I'm facing a problem of mounting windows shares into the linux machine,

Windows Server : Server 2008 R2

Linux : Redhat Enterprise Linux 5

The outputs are as follows:

[root@kumna07-VM35996 ~]# smbclient -L \\kumna07-I35851 -U administrator
Password:
Domain=[EXAMPLE] OS=[Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 7600] Server=[Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 6.1]

[root@kumna07-VM35996 ~]# smbclient -L \\kumna07-I35863\iso -U administrator
Connection to kumna07-I35863iso failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME)

when i type

# smbclient -L \\kumna07-I35863 -U administrator
everything is working fine and its showing the shared folder on the server

but when i type in the following command

[root@kumna07-VM35996 ~]# smbclient -L \\kumna07-I35863\iso -U administrator
Connection to kumna07-I35863iso failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME)


Can any1 help me out on this issue.

this is because there is no machine name called \\kumna07-I35863\iso ....\\kumna07-I35863\iso is a most likely a path on the machine \\kumna07-I35863 .
