samba - Jan 2001 - (no subject)

I cannot map from NT to Sun Solaris 2.8 running Samba 2.0.5
using:

\\server01\tmp

But I can map using:

\\server01.domain.com\tmp

Or:

\\1.2.3.4\tmp

I can map from NT to an AIX Samba 2.0.0 box using:

\\server02\tmp (don't have to use IP or fully-qualified name)

And I can map from the AIX box to the Sun box using:

smbclient //server01/tmp

Again, don't have to use FQN or IP.  What's up?  Is this
a problem with NT?  Doesn't seem like it since I can map
to the AIX box.

But then I have to ask is it a problem with the Sun Samba,
but again, wouldn't think so since I can map from the AIX
box to the Sun box.

Help,

Daniel

It seems your NETBIOS name resolution is somewhat hosed: FQN works (will 
go to DNS) and IP address works (no name resolution needed).

Are you sure nmbd is running?

Do you use a WINS server from the clients? You will then have to 
configure "wins server = IP address" in smb.conf.

Did you run through the steps in DIAGNOSIS.txt?

BTW: 2.0.5 is known the have some bugs on Solaris. You should better 
upgrade to 2.0.7.
