Hi List

Not too sure this is the right place for this type of question.

This is just a question out of curiosity more than anything and is not
really a problem that I'd consider of importance. I have been using
Gnome for some time now and I have also setup Samba so that I can
authenticate against our domain controller. Smbclient works great and I
can connect to any computer within our domain without any problem. I
know Nautilus has the ability to connect via smb also and with Gnome2.2
it has a nice Network Server utility which allows you to add various
servers including smb machines. For some reason I have never been able
to use my gui to connect via smb using Nautilus to any computers on our
network except via terminal using smbclient. I just get the error
message that it is an invalid address and that it cannot connect to the
computer. ( smbclient see's the computer ). I tried putting in the
computers in my hosts file but still it say's invalid address.

I was wondering if this was just a problem with FreeBSD ? or maybe I'm
just missing something..

Thanks.

Regards,
Nelis
