Hello *, I've fileserver with Debian Lenny and Samba 3.2.5 from the distro. I want the server to notify clients on some events with a popup. # smbclient -M Client01 Connection to Client01 failed. Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME but: # smbclient -L Client01 -U myuser Enter myuser's password: Domain=[MYDOMAIN] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC IPC remoto scansioni Disk ADMIN$ Disk Amministrazione remota C$ Disk Condivisione predefinita Domain=[MYDOMAIN] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Server Comment --------- ------- CLIENT01 CLIENT02 CLIENT03 SERVER server server Workgroup Master --------- ------- MYDOMAIN CLIENT01 WORKGROUP PC-GUEST What am I doing wrong with -M? -- Virtual Bit di Lucio Crusca http://www.virtual-bit.com

What happens if you use an IP address instead? Does "nmblookup Client01" work? Don't forget that you need the "Messenger" service running on the target PC otherwise the message won't be sent (Start, Run, services.msc) Cheers, Adam.
