I am unable to find my Windows XP share (winpro) in Linneighborhood
which runs on my desktop Kubuntu Linux box.
When I try to mount that Windows XP share I get the error message:
2139: session request to WINPRO failed (Not listening on called name)
2139: session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening on called name)
SMB connection failed
smbmt: Error: winpro _not_ mounted.
The command line I'm using to mount Winpro is:
smbmount //winpro/lba /mnt/winpro -o guest,uid=lba
This line _used_ to work before I had a malfuntion on the winpro box and
had to Repair XP. Repair is similiar to a fresh install except many
(but not all) settings are kept.
Both winpro and the Kubuntu box are on the same workgroup and subnet
with fixed IP.
Why is the winpro machine "not listening on called name" ?
I've been working on this a couple of days and suspect something in the
Windows XP configuration but haven't made any headway.

Inside a windows cmdline window, use "nbtstat -n" to view the registered netbios names. Also have a look whether the workgroup matches. Btw - using 'smbclient -L winpro -U<username>%<password>' is an easier way to check for availability of that remote box. Also 'smbtree' can help to diagnose that problem. Cheers, G?nter
