Re: SAMBA configuration - Machine name

The main point is that Mike use "net use * \\presario\tmp" instead of "net
use f: \\presario\jmccarty" .

I had seen the FAQ after yr reminding.
Perhaps, I write that *** OR *** "net use f: \\SMB_IP_ADDRESS\jmccarty" is
misleading.

However, In my experience, \\SMB_IP_ADDRESS\Share_Folder is used sucessfully
to connect from Window 98 to Fedora Core 2.
I don't know whether \\SMB_IP_ADDRESS\C$ is specified to Windows Folder
Sharing.
Since C$ has been seen in Windows Folder Sharing, rather than Samba on
Linux.

Anyway, thank you for yr reminder!

can you use smbclient to connect the SAMBA in FC2. should the command in
MSCLIENT be "net use f: \\presario\jmccarty"
OR "net use f: \\SMB_IP_ADDRESS\jmccarty"

Perhaps,
you may find a bootdisk in http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/network/ you may use
the bookdisk to connect the samba in other workstation for testing.

Quoting the FAQ on the nu2.nu page:

Q: I've loaded the network drivers (tcp), all OK. When I use "net use f:
\\192.168.10.15\c$" I get "Error 53: The computer name specified in the
network path cannot be located".

A: You cannot use IP-based machine names when using Microsoft client. You
need to enter the real machine name: "net use f: \\servername\c$".

I think the other post about opening port 137 for UDP has merit. The only
time I've had to mess with this I've had a fully functioning DNS server to
resolve the names.
