Hi List, I am having this problem with samba version 2.2.7a, whenever i try to do an smbmount, to a win2k machine, i get the following error: (Called name not present) this is the output: $ smbmount //172.18.12.100/directory asterixc -o "username=domain\administrator,password=********" INFO: Debug class all level = 1 (pid 19018 from pid 19018) 19018: session request to 172.18.12.100 failed (Called name not present) 19018: session request to 172 failed (Called name not present) the connection works the other way around though - from the win2k client to the linux samba server, i can see and browse the home directory of the user that i log in as! Any Help would be appreciated! Thanks, Adrian
