I am unable to find my Windows XP share (winpro) in Linneighborhood
which runs on my desktop Kubuntu Linux box.
When I try to mount that Windows XP share I get the error message:
2139: session request to WINPRO failed (Not listening on called name)
2139: session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening on called name)
SMB connection failed
smbmt: Error: winpro _not_ mounted.
The command line I'm using to mount Winpro is:
smbmount //winpro/lba /mnt/winpro -o guest,uid=lba
This line _used_ to work before I had a malfuntion on the winpro box and
had to Repair XP. Repair is similiar to a fresh install except many
(but not all) settings are kept.
Both winpro and the Kubuntu box are on the same workgroup and subnet
with fixed IP.
Why is the winpro machine "not listening on called name" ?
I've been working on this a couple of days and suspect something in the
Windows XP configuration but haven't made any headway.

Are you sure, that you named that winxp box "winpro"?
Inside a windows cmdline window, use "nbtstat -n" to view the
registered netbios names.
Also have a look whether the workgroup matches.
Btw - using 'smbclient -L winpro -U<username>%<password>' is an easier
way to check for availability of that remote box.
Also 'smbtree' can help to diagnose that problem.

Thanks very much for your reply Günter.
Clicking on Control Panel >System >Properties shows
'Full computer name' winpro
and Workgroup LANET
as expected.
nbstat -n from winpro command prompt
gives an error message
"Failed to access NBT driver"
smbtree gives a full screen of shares from other computers
but nothing from winpro. The shares list other windows 98 computers.
smbclient -L winpro -U<username>%<password>
gives a '>' prompt that I can't do anything with
except to re-enter my password.
I then get
"session request to WINPRO failed (Not listening on called name)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening on called name)"
smbclient -L winpro -U<username>
session request to WINPRO failed (Not listening on called name)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening on called name)
Some notes:
My username and password is the same on both machines.
The WXP computer has Service Pack 1 and 2.
I can connect to shares on other machines from winpro.

Have you enabled "NetBIOS over tcp/ip" in the tcp/ip settings
of your network interface? I think, it's placed in the
WINS tab dialog page.
Cheers, Günter
Just looked again Günter.
Yes, "NetBIOS over tcp/ip" is checked.
Also iptables on the Linux machine is wide open (all policies ACCEPT).
The entire internal LAN is behind a router/firewall of course.
