Having trouble mounting a windows drive on another computer in my LAN, by name.
Netbios name is MYNET Samba is set, has that name I see it the smb.conf
Windows computer name is COMP1
Shared drive on windows computer is named C
mount point in linux is /usr/winC
tried mount -t smbfs //MYNET.COMP1/C /usr/winC
get back timeout connecting to 208.69.32.130
That is my DNS server IP, that won't work. It is not going to find my computer through DNS.
However if I do mount -t smbfs 192.168.1.104/C /usr/winC, it works using the actual IP of COMP1.
I have tried other variations of the syntax and smbmount, but it only works with the explicit IP. If I use names I get back the DNS server error.
In smb4k, scanning network finds nothing. But if i manually scan for COMP1, it finds it and knows it is on MYNET. Then I can mount it from smb4k.
Same thing happens if I ping. ping CMP1 gets back pings from the DNS
If I ping by IP, it works as i want.
