Help connecting to Win98 Shares from Samba (Called name not present)
I need help connecting to a share on a WINDOWS 98 machine using
smbmount. I've tried a number of things and still get a "Called name
not present" error. I'm using a Sarge installation, but also tried
connecting to this machine from a Fedora machine, both machines get the
same error. However, on a windows XP machine, I can connect no problem.
Here is an output from smbclient:
insaneboi@squid:~$ smbclient //win98machine.nmu.edu/share -I
192.168.0.6 -U username%passwd
session request to WIN98MACHINE.NMU.EDU failed (Called name not present)
session request to WIN98MACHINE failed (Called name not present)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present)
insaneboi@squid:~$
I've tried a multitude of combinations of commands, ranging from
smbclient -L server, smbclient -L //ipaddr, smbclient -L
//server.nmu.edu, smbmount //ip/share, smbmount //server/share, smbmount
//server.nmu.edu/share, etc
Everything I try results in the same "Called name not present" error. I
can connect to other linux samba servers and win2k servers without a
hitch from this machine.
Any help would be appreciated, as the professor is stubborn about
keeping this antiquated windows box (even though we are in the CS
department and frequently use Linux as an OS of choice for departmental
machines!) I REALLY DON'T WANT to have to blow away a partition and
install windowsxp on my laptop.
Thanks
