When you specify the server name as 10.110.4.106 smbmount first tries to send that string as the server name (one of the parameters when connecting is that the client should give the name of the server). Failing that it tries to use the name up to the first . Failing that it tries to use *SMBSERVER, which works (else you would have had that error printed too). "Called name" is the netbios name of the server. In all cases it has attempted to connect to ip 10.110.4.106. The quiet way to do this is to use: mount -t smb -o username=... //servername/software Or if your machine doesn't know which ip matches 'servername': mount -t smb -o username=...,ip=10.110.4.106 //servername/software If you don't know the netbiosname of the server I guess you could try this: mount -t smb -o username=...,ip=10.110.4.106 //*SMBSERVER/software Or just live with the harmless errors. /Urban -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
