problem with smbfs/smbclient thru domain to local machine

[Guest_imported]

(fluid11 asked me to start a new thread)

I'm guessing there is no solution to my problem. I have a machine I am trying to connect to with smbfs mounting. I have just added said machine to a domain that is not local to the network I am on, and now it can no longer login as the local windows user I had setup for the mount. When I try my domain account I get errors which seems to point to the fact there are no domain controller on this network for said domain, and so I cannot connect to the machine using smbclient or mount.

Is there any way around this problem?

Thru comments from the other thread, I actually figured this out myself. I used -W/workgroup= (where appropriate) and specified the machine name as the workgroup. This allowed me to connect to the machine as a local user rather than thru the domain and my domain account.

I figured I'd just post it as a separate thread so the info wouldn't be lost.

schweet! That does work. But since I never had any trouble passing domain info to a windos box don't know if I'll ever need it. Good to learn something new, though. thx
