John,
You've hit the nail on the head once again. Ozzy was resolving to it's
external IP address which routed the samba client's request from outside
our network through the firewall. So when I run the below command with
ozzy's internal IP address, all is good.
> smbclient '\\10.1.1.52\home' -U amanda%<password>
added interface ip=10.1.1.34 bcast=10.1.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Domain=[NOEMIX] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
smb: \>
Thanks,
Terry
