Got two machines connected via a 10MBit Hub: One Slackware Linux 8.1 with eth0 = Realtek8139 (working fine), one WindowsXP Pro, same NIC, registry key for proper auth is set.
The Windows machine is called xerxes on which the C dir is shared, and there is /mnt/xerxes/ on the Linux box. The command: # mount -t smbfs -o username=(username on win machine),password=(passwd on win # machine) //XERXES/C /mnt/xerxes/ gives me the following errors: 2251: session request to XERXES failed (Not listening on called name) 2251: session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening on called name) Am clueless. Should mention I'm familiar with Linux but a network newbie. Dex -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
