Typical answer from some of the tests is: [root@anne-linux anne]# smbclient '\\anne-linux\tmp' added interface ip=192.168.0.1 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 wins_srv_died(): Could not mark WINS server 127.0.0.1 down. Address not found in server list. Connection to anne-linux failed I'm not sure what's happening here - 192.168.0.1 is the router address, but the samba server, and hence WINS server is 192.168.0.30.
