If you have a "helpful" ISP, such as Verizon, then it's going to resolve "faculty" to its search service, which isn't what you want. With smbfs, you could specify name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast to avoid the DNS lookup. With cifs, you can't, since it doesn't yet respect smb.conf. However, you can install winbind and edit /etc/nsswitch.conf, setting the hosts spec to: hosts: files wins dns That worked like a charm for me, with thanks to Steve Langasek (vorlon). -- Michael A.
