Lars,

Thanks for your reply!

I have now gotten the smbclient client as well as smbd server to
function on the HP 3000!

With regard to making the pc client talk to hp 3000 server;
My WIN 95 PC under control panel, Network, TCP/IP properties
originally looked like this;

1) Bindings           - nothing
2) Advanced           - nothing
3) DNS Configuration  - Disable DNS
4) Gateway            - nothing
5) WINS Configuration - Use DHCP for WINS Resolution
6) IP Address         - Obtain IP address automatically

My guess is that my hpserver is not registered in the WINS
server lookup table, because this is for PC's ie WIN95 and NT.
So I changed;

3) DNS Configuration  - Enable DNS

   a) Host mypc  Domain myfake.boeing.com

   b) DNS Search Order
      ###.###.###.###
      ###.###.###.###
      ###.###.###.###
      (Note: I used the same resolution that the hp 3000 uses
       by copying the numbers in reslvcnf.net.sys )

    c) Domain Suffix Search Order
       myfake.boeing.com
       myfake1.boeing.com
       myfake2.boeing.com

After making these changes disregarding the fakery :)
I was able to do this //hpserver//rwguest and a folder
poped up with a representation of all my files in the /tmp
directory wow!!!

Thanks Lars!
