Hi,
I'm trying to connect to a share on a linux box from a win98 (or win2k)
machine through an SSH tunnel.
The documentation found on the subject says to setup an entry in LMHOSTS file in
the form of:
127.0.0.1 sambaserver #pre
checking the status of the cache with NBTSTAT -c after doing a NBTSTAT -R does
not show the entry for "sambaserver"
If I put any other IP address instead of the loopback address (or the
interface's own IP address), the entry shows up in the cache.
When trying to connect to the remote share, the command fails with "error
53 network name not found".
With a sniffer, I can see my win98 machine doing several name resolution
requests (one to the DNS and a few to the broadcast address) which tells me that
the lmhosts file is not looked into.
any ideas?
regards
