samba - Nov 1999 - Purely numeric service name

Hi

	I have a problem accessing NT boxes which have a service (host) name
which is purely numeric, smbclient insists on treating it as an ip number.

For example:-
/opt/samba/bin/smbclient \\\\06842\\BACKUP xxxxx  -U xxxxx

returns :-

Connecting to 0.0.14.34 at port 139    
Connection to 06842 failed 

I am using HPUX 10.2 and samba version 2.0.4b. 

Surely it should be possible to connect to NT boxes with numeric names.

I grabbed a copy a while back, but it didn't seem to do anything.  
I asked for the source so I could fool around with it, but never 
got a reply.  If you just have a few files, any good text editor 
should do the trick (eg, PFE, SlickEdit, emacs, etc).  
Alternatively, you could use Awk, sed, perl, etc to process large 
numbers of files.

I've thought about doing my own version of the above win32 app, but 
I'm still teaching myself Ada, OOP, etc.

Hope this helps, Steve

Add -I <ip address>.
