Hi,

This isn't specific to Linux, but I figured it was worth a shot.  Out of
boredom, I decided to play around with the samba client on my local network.
Using the rpms of version 2.0.5, I installed it, and everything works okay,
except for the fact that I can't attach to any computers.  It looks like the
client is trying to use my loopback device to connect - and I'm not sure how
to tell it to use the ethernet adapter.  Here's what I get:

[root@russserver russell]# smbclient -L \\Athlon600
Added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
Connection to Athlon600 failed

[root@russserver russell]# smbclient -L \\Athlon600
Added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
Connection to Athlon600 failed

[root@russserver russell]# smbclient -L \\10.0.0.4
Added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
session request to 10.0.0.4 failed

session request to *SMBSERVER failed
[root@russserver russell]# smbclient -L -I 10.0.0.4
Added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
Connection to -I failed

It always says its adding an interface to 127.0.0.1 - even if I take down my
loopback device.  Is this normal?  I know the computer I'm trying to connect
to is working, as I can get to it via Windoze...

Thanx,

--Russell
