#1 - #4 ok
#5 returns nothing or rather:name_query failed to find name *
#6 returns 128.2.224.1 (the samba client)
tmc1> nmblookup -d 2 '*'
Added interface ip=128.2.224.1 bcast=128.2.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0
Sending queries to 128.2.255.255
Got a positive name query response from 128.2.224.1 ( 128.2.224.1 )
128.2.224.1 *<00>
#7 ok and i can mount shares on tmc6 from tmc1
#8 works for full name (tmc1.astm.cmri.cmu.edu) but not tmc1
it fails with system error 53: network path was not found
i've tried adding tmc1 to my (tmc37) lmhosts file, no luck.
we are not allowed to run our own wins here.
#9-10 again, works with full name (tmc1.astm.cmri.cmu.edu)
also "map network drive" works if i put in the full name it then
shows tmp being available
any ideas why i cannot "browse" tmc1 from network neighborhood?
cc's appreciated.
thanks
flip
