This seems to be quite a common error with Samba, but I haven't been able to find an answer through my searches (here and google). So, I need to post for help.

When mounting a Windows 2000 drive (hdd) in Linux (Slack 9.1), I get the following error:

2859: session request to SHUTTLE failed (Called name not present)

My fstab line reads:
//shuttle/C /mnt/shuttle_hdd smbfs username=greg,password=XXXXXX,noauto,user,ro

My /etc/hosts files (on local machine and server) reads:
192.168.0.110 shuttle

On server, /etc/samba/smb.conf includes:
hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.

The weird thing is that it gives me the error and then mounts the drive. I've several fixes (included an all-caps entry in hosts, etc.), and nothing fixes it. Does anyone have any ideas.

Thank you.
