OK. > If I run "snoop host rosalind" and "smbutil lookup rosalind", > I get no snoop output. That's odd. Did you run snoop on the machine where you're trying to use the Solaris CIFS client? You should see something. Here's a good snoop command line if you want just NetBIOS/SMB: snoop -o /tmp/output.snoop port 137 or port 138 or port 139 or port 445 Then use: wireshark /tmp/output.snoop > If I run snoop and exclude communication with a few other hosts > (e.g., punch-sfbay.sun.com, the desktop machine where I'm typing > the commands into an ssh window), all I get is: [an ARP "who is"] > Would the fact that I'm punched-in make any difference?

The snoop capture is the best way to figure this out. You should see NetBIOS name requests from your CIFS client, either broadcast, or to the configured WINS, or both. Trying without punchin running would be a good idea.
