Hi,

I'm having trouble connecting to windows xp with smbclient. the syntax I used is smbclient //ibm/d -U arlie.

After i enter the the passwor i get this message: tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

I really need to conect to my win xp pc because i have some files to copy to dsl.

By the way my dsl is installed on my harddrive.

It sometimes helps to specify your workgroup (-W MYWORKGROUP) and even the server IP address (-I 192.168.0.???) on the smbclient command line.

I use the server I run at work to transfer files back and forth between DSL and Windows via an ftp account.
Hope that's of some help?

I always use the RAW numerical IP address for smbclient. The samba computer name does not always work for me.

In your windows computer, go to Start -> Accessories -> Command Prompt

Then type:

ipconfig

and write down your Windows computer's IP address.

Then use these numbers instead of the computer name when using the smbclient program.
