Greetings, I have SMBFS compiled statically into the kernel. With the generic kernel, I was able to resolve netbios names via broacasts. After I installed my new kernel, I get a message like this:
------------------------------------------- mount_smbfs //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mis ./tmpmnt mount_smbfs: can't get server address: nberr = no interface to broadcast on and no NBNS server speicified. The only way to get it working is to specify the IP address with -I. ------------------------------------------- I didn't have an /etc/nsmb.conf file set up, but as I said before, it worked via broadcast with the generic kernel. I give up and set up an /etc/nsmb.conf file (I know I really should have one in the first place), and define workgroup and nbns in the config file. then I try my command again. mount_smbfs: can't get server address: nberr = no such name. Hmmm... I know that "rlm" exists because my windows and linux clients are connecting to it with no problems. I might add that the server is running samba with nmbd (It's acting as the WINS server). Attempt Three: define the server explicitly in /etc/nsmb.conf. It finally works, although It should have worked before. Also, using a default password does not seem to work, as the mount_smbfs always asks me for my password no matter what is in the /etc/nsmb.conf file. Questions: Did I break something when I made a new kernel? Why can smbfs not find a broadcast interface?
