129.219.120.138 is the bsdbox -- its the samba server. here's something to add to the plot. 1) my samba server at 129.219.120.183 seems to have a problem correctly resolving the netbios name npcenter. It can connect using the ip address of 129.219.120.138. 2) another samba server in the same subnet correctly resolves the netbios name npcenter -- finds the right machine and connects. 3) another samba server in a differnet subnet/differnet building/differnet broadcast region successfully connects to the npcenter netbios name 4) so it would seem there is a configuration error on my samba machine at 120.183 -- however, the returned line from smbclient -L ... nonymous login successful Domain=[CUI] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_DUPLICATE_NAME ... would indicate a connection was made to a machine in a TOTALLY different subnet and domain. the CUI domain is in a very different building/different subnet. things are getting curiouser and curiouser.. > Chris -)----- > > -- > Samba Team -- http://www.samba.org/ -)----- Christopher R.
