Hi all,

I'm having problems with using smbclient to connect to shares on a Win95
machine. I've got a Win95 machine (called bob, IP=192.168.1.2) connected
to my Linux box (IP=192.168.1.1). C drive is a share on the Win95
machine.

$ smbclient //bob/c/

added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRinvnetname (Invalid network name in tree
connect.)

$ smbclient //192.168.1.2/c/

added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
session request to 192.168.1.2 failed (Called name not present)
session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present)


Can anybody tell me what's happening here? I assume it's just that I
haven't got the right names in the right places. I can ping bob fine, am
using IP chains to let bob share the net connection, bob can print to a
Samba shared printer on my Linux box. I think it's a problem at the Linux
end, because I've had this working before and the Win95 machine hasn't
been changed since - stuff on the Linux box has been played with too much
for me to be sure what's happened. Any ideas?

TIA, Tom
