Instead, you'll probably want to try this command: nmblookup -A xxx.xxx.xx.xx This will give you a list of the machine names and groups. So, let's assume the machine is named MACHINE smbclient -L MACHINE -I xxx.xxx.xx.xx -U% The -I option can be omitted if the machine is on the same subnet. The - -U% option tells it to use no username or password. Read the manpage for more info. - -- finger for PGP public key. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBN9/gnr7M/9WKZLW5AQFmHQP5ASwL/dWSFvRAwPjDajCmWIrJM+O6/Wx8 Lmbi4N7/bc+yd6Bfm/AHzJ3xyqyXgQUsKpfH0IOApG2iGme7Xebv0Lic8L+227n8 V7ahZ+6C1UQDdFrtCoSKNd5R+K1PcWCpG1TgV8uWxRlQ9836JL8bXYhIFO8C59Py y9Cpo0UVFl0= =dkq0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
