I just installed Slack 12.2 on a spare drive, and everything looks good with one nagging exception: I can't connect to my SMB shares. When I try to do it manually in a console, here is the response:

root@gamer:~# mount -t smbfs //DSL/Dsl /mnt/dsl -o umask=000
mount error: could not find target server. TCP name DSL/Dsl not found
No ip address specified and hostname not found
root@gamer:~#

I have my smb.conf set up just like with previous releases, folders created and /etc/fstab created the same as well. I have no trouble connecting to the 'Net (I'm on it right now), so I'm a little stumped. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Not that I really have a clue, but I suspect that the change from samba 3.0.28a to 3.2.5 changed the way you mount SMB shares. Didn't they change to CIF?

I had forgotten to mention that the server was running Mandriva 2006, but over the weekend I migrated from that box (an old "Gig-n-a-third Thunderbird" on a Matsonic motherboard that's basically got one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel) to an Athlon-64 system running Slamd64 12.1. Now I can connect with Slack 12.2, and the only thing is a warning about the "guest" option in /etc/fstab.
