This is XP Professional. I do no have this on my machine by choice, I am
so tired of playing with Windows, if it were my choice, it would be
Linux only! :)

I get this when I run the command:

[pparks at Vaio pparks]$ smbclient -L 192.168.0.1 -U pparks -W MSHome
added interface ip=192.168.0.5 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
session request to 192.168.0.1 failed (Called name not present)
session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)

        IPC$           IPC       Remote IPC

        Server               Comment

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------

So it appears that I am able to see the shares, but can not mount them.
This has to be an XP problem, cause when I was running ME I was able to
mount the Windows share with no problem. Or it could very well be a user
(me) error :)
