samba - Oct 2002 - newbie problem: can't mount win xp disk into linux (regkey is set)

Got two machines connected via a 10MBit Hub:
One Slackware Linux 8.1 with eth0 = Realtek8139 (working fine),
one WindowsXP Pro, same NIC, registry key for proper auth is set.

The Windows machine is called xerxes on which the C dir is shared, and there
is /mnt/xerxes/ on the Linux box.

The command:
# mount -t smbfs -o username=(username on win machine),password=(passwd on win
# machine) //XERXES/C /mnt/xerxes/
gives me the following errors:

2251: session request to XERXES failed (Not listening on called name)
2251: session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening on called name)

Am clueless. Should mention I'm familiar with Linux but a network newbie.

I don't know if you received a response to this, however, do you have an
entry in your /etc/hosts file for XERXES?

192.168.x.x		XERXES

Without this, your linux box does not know who XESRES is.

Here is my /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1     localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.190 niihau
192.168.1.100 oahu
192.168.1.104 molokai
192.168.1.102 hawaii
192.168.1.103 lanai

My Mount command in the same format as yours:

[root@molokai donald]# mount -t smbfs -o
username=<myname>,password=<mypassword> //hawaii/C_drive /mnt/share

# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)

# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
"testparm"
