John, The smbclient -L command is saying that it can't find a netbios name "bigserver" on the network. There could be any number of reasons for this: is your system's hostname "bigserver"? if not do you have a "netbios name" parameter in your smb.conf specifying "bigserver"? Do you have multiple lan cards and ip addresses in your system? If you post the results of the following, it might help get a handle on this: 1. your 'trivial' smb.conf file 2. results of "nslookup bigserver" 3. results of "hostname" 4. results of "uname -a" 5. might also try smbclient -L bigserver -I<ipaddress of bigserver> to make sure you are really connecting to who you think you are with the name 'bigserver'.

Thanks for your suggestions, but so far, no joy.
I used "bigserver" as an alias in my original email - just to match
the
DIAGNOSIS.TXT directions. The actual machine name is "shiva",
actually,
"shiva.nicimg.com", and I tried to connect using "smbclient -L
shiva".
I've tried both with and without "netbios name" parameter set.
Here is
my entire smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = GRCORP
netbios name = SHIVA
security = SHARE
local master = No
[home]
path = /export/home
writeable = Yes
guest ok = Yes
-------------------------------
# nslookup shiva
Server: ns1.nicimg.com
Address: 216.98.131.10

Address: 216.98.131.85
# hostname

# uname -a
SunOS shiva 5.7 Generic_106541-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250

session request to SHIVA failed (Called name not present)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present)
What's odd is that nmblookup seems to be working:
# nmblookup -S shiva

John,
The smbclient -L command is saying that it can't find a netbios name
"bigserver" on the network. There could be any number of reasons for
this:
is your system's hostname "bigserver"? if not do you have a
"netbios name"
parameter in your smb.conf specifying "bigserver"?
Do you have multiple lan cards and ip addresses in your system?
If you post the results of the following, it might help get a handle on
this:
1. your 'trivial' smb.conf file
2. results of "nslookup bigserver"
3. results of "hostname"
4. results of "uname -a"
5. might also try smbclient -L bigserver -I<ipaddress of bigserver>
to make sure you are really connecting to who you think you are with
the name 'bigserver'.
Hope this helps,

That IS odd, John.
could you do me a favor - add log level = 10 to your smb.conf global
section, and try your smbclient test again. Then send me the log.smb file
that gets generated; maybe I will spot something.
Thanks,
Don
