Alan,

Don't forget to setup the following in SERVICES.NET:
nmbp        137/udp
smbp         139/tcp

Also, I had our HP set up as node.domain.org and that didn't work with our
proxy and NT DNS. In the hosts file (although I didn't change anything in
any router or HP configuration) on the NT running the proxy and DNS, I
created a line containing nothing but "node IP-address" i.s.o.
node.domain.org and that did it for me.

Hope this helps.

Pat.




Andreas and all...

HOSTS and RESLVCNF.NET.SYS both exist as we have been doing networking
stuff for quite some time.  We just set up the links to /etc/hosts and
/etc/resolv.conf.

Since we have DNS running, what other than the loopback do we need in
/etc/hosts?  Do we put the system name someplace, or only the ip address
 on the interface line?

Also, just to get this going, I'm not trying INETD.  We have it running
for Telnet, but I don't have the lines added for smb/nmb.  I *assume*
that this is not going to be a problem.

The other symptom which I didn't explicitly say is that jsmb dies just
quits after a minute or two.  It prints the log entries that I mentioned
in my original message listed below.


Since the log file error message is printing the beginning of our
domain, I did a quick search (grep) within the NET group and didn't turn
 up anything other then the resolv.conf file.

Other ideas?

/alan
