can't connect to host

[Misel]

Hi everybody, I'm new here. :)

so here's my problem: I can't connect to the LAN via Konqueror.

Everything is running fine, I can access my slackware 8.1 notebook with my win2k main machine and the notebook can also access the internet and the smbclient find the shares on the win2k machine.

Everything's setup perfectly except for one client to search through the network I guess but which one.

I have a DSL router that also acts as a DHCP server that the notebook finds as well. It also gets an IP and stuff. But in Konquerer I can't access the lan with lan://misel (my win2k machine) and not even the notebook itself lan://schleppi

I also can replace the netbios names with the according IPs but it doesn't work either.

all I get is: "Could not connect to host <namehere>"

Do you have any ideas?

Try the console command

#nmblookup


to see if that helps.

Okay, the results are here

bash-2.05a# nmblookup -T misel
querying misel on 192.168.10.255
192.168.10.11 misel<00>
bash-2.05a#

bash-2.05a# nmblookup -A 192.168.10.11
Looking up status of 192.168.10.11
MISEL <00> - B <ACTIVE>
SLASHER!@MISEL <00> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>
MISEL <20> - B <ACTIVE>
MISEL <03> - B <ACTIVE>
SLASHER!@MISEL <1e> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>
STEFAN MISCH <03> - B <ACTIVE>
SLASHER!@MISEL <1d> - B <ACTIVE>
..__MSBROWSE__. <01> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>
MISEL <01> - B <ACTIVE>

and as far as I can interpret this the notebook finds my main PC.

But Konqueror still can't connect. I also have to correct my first message:

when I enter lan://schleppi or lan://localhost in the address line it says that it can't connect but when I enter lan://misel it says "Could not find host"

so any more ideas?

BTW: /usr/bin smbclient -T misel can also list all shares on my main PC. But why can't the notebook browse through the network?

I found it :)

it's not lan://misel but smb://misel. I did another search I found this thread (http://linuxnewbie.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44103&highlight=konqueror+cant+access+host)

:)

but what is this lan:// thing for then?

Couldn't figure where you were getting that when this is a Samba config.:confused:

I guess I'm an old hand. I've been using it for 3 weeks.:D
