    Hi,

    I have two sarge clients attached to the same network using the same fstab
    entries to mount shared drives. On one system I can use the hostname in the
    fstab entry, on the other it only works with ip numbers. On the client which
    only works with ip numbers I get the following timout message when I try to
    mount the share using the hostname:

    k2bio1:/# mount /mnt/k2 -bio/
    timeout connecting to 213.174.32.40:445
    timeout connecting to 213.174.32.40:139
    Error connecting to 213.174.32.40 (Operation already in progress)
    2283: Connection to srh00011 failed
    SMB connection failed

    where I presume 213.174.32.40 is some external nameserver. The strange thing
    is that the mounts worked using the hostname before a dist-upgrade and kernel
    upgrade to 2.6.11, before that the system hadn't been updated in at least six
    months.

    I can't figure out what the difference is between the two clients that would
    allow one to use the hostnames, and not the other.

    Any suggestions where to look?

    Thanks,

    Chris
