Unfortunately, no.

response:

barry@debian:~/temp$ smbclient -L //red_hat -WWORKGROUP -Ubarry   
added interface ip=192.168.0.3 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
error connecting to 192.168.0.2:139 (Connection refused)
Error connecting to 192.168.0.2 (Connection refused)
Connection to red_hat failed

Yes, the workgroup name is 'WORKGROUP'.

I think this has to do with port 139 being closed.

Result from nmap:

Interesting ports on red_hat.mathieu.home (192.168.0.2):
(The 1548 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)

Any idea how to open port 139 on XP Pro? I should post something to the
dreaded mickysoft support site.

Thanks,
