Bonjour, I have recently somme difficulties to use samba -M, the answer is: Cannot resolve name <name>#0x3. Here is an exemple: $ smbclient -M falstaff added interface ip=192.168.0.1 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Cannot resolve name falstaff#0x3 But if I use -L, the name is resolved: $ smbclient -L falstaff added interface ip=192.168.0.1 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 error connecting to 192.168.0.4:139 (No route to host) Error connecting to 192.168.0.4 (No route to host) The fact, that the computer falstaff is or is not alive, is not relevant, in both case, with the -M option the answer is the same. samba-2.2.7a-8.9.0 on linux redhat-9 It used to work with the same configuration, the only thing which may have change is the samba, nmb ... version, as the linux box is automatically up2dated. Thank you for any information -- Fran?ois Patte
