I don't know if it is right on this list but it drives me cracy and it is probably somthing stupid that I do wrong. I have problems to connect from a Linux(Samba) computer to NT. I can connect without any problems from NT to Linux. The name pservgul is in the host file in the DNS and the computer name is pservgul. I am sure about that. weis@test:/home/weis > smbclient \\\\pservgul\\netlogon Added interface ip=172.30.10.24 bcast=172.30.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0 Session request failed (131,130) with myname=TEST destname=PSERVGUL Called name not present Try to connect to another name (instead of PSERVGUL) You may find the -I option useful for this weis@test:/home/weis > smbclient //pservgul/netlogon Added interface ip=172.30.10.24 bcast=172.30.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0 Session request failed (131,130) with myname=TEST destname=PSERVGUL Called name not present Try to connect to another name (instead of PSERVGUL) You may find the -I option useful for this I get the same when I try it with the -I option. When I use nmblookup I get that: weis@test:/home/weis > nmblookup pservgul Sending queries to 172.30.255.255 name_query failed to find name pservgul weis@test:/home/weis > nmblookup -A pservgul Sending queries to 172.30.255.255 Looking up status of 172.30.10.30 <<< That is the right IP address. No status response (this is not unusual) weis@test:/var/lock > more browse.dat "HWSMICRO" c0001000 "PSERVGUL" "HWSMICRO" "TEST" 40019a03 "Samba 1.9.18p2" "HWSMICRO" "PSERVGUL" 4006120b "" "HWSMICRO" Does someone know what I do wrong? The network uses a scope id. I do not know if that is important but Samba is configured to the right scope id. I get the same problem if I have NT and samba without a scope id. Thanx for any help Dominik Weis
