I see the following in log.nmb : [2000/12/02 20:35:51, 0] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:register_name_response(111) register_name_response: server at IP 137.99.xxx.xxx rejected our name registration of COWBERT<00> with error code 6.

Thus, it has to be something in smb.conf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
