Thanks Jill....
I got part way through and thought maybe this will shed some more light on
the problem.
when I run:
% ./smbclient -L MACHINE_NAME -U '' -N
I get:
session request to xxx failed (xxx = machine name)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed
when I run:
% ps -auwwx | grep mbd
It works OK.....I can see the smbd and nmbd processes.
when I run:
netstat -a | grep netbios
I get NOTHING.
upon investigation I looked at netbios and tried to start it but it gave an
error about an IP address so I looked at the nbconf file which seemed like
it had the wrong IP address in it so I changed this to be correct and also
the broadcast one.
now when i /etc/netbios start
I get:
starting netbios: nbd: Can't open Netbios device: No Such file or Directory
any clues???
