I have an imac G3 on the same network as my brothers windows xp computer. were the only two computers on the network, which is an ethernet cable from my mac, to a router, and then another cable to his computer. I found instructions on this site:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031204021659307
but when i follow the instructions i get:
Macintosh:~ mattboudreau$ smbclient -M YOUR-WAAP9ST6GD
Connection to YOUR-WAAP9ST6GD failed
Or this:
Macintosh:~ mattboudreau$ smbclient -M
Usage: [-?EgVNkP] [--usage] [-R NAME-RESOLVE-ORDER] [-M HOST] [-I IP] [-L HOST]
[-t CODE] [-m LEVEL] [-T <c|x>IXFqgbNan] [-D DIR] [-c ARG] [-b BYTES]
[-p PORT] [-d DEBUGLEVEL] [-s CONFIGFILE] [-l LOGFILEBASE]
[-O SOCKETOPTIONS] [-n NETBIOSNAME] [-W WORKGROUP] [-i SCOPE]
[-U USERNAME] [-A FILE] [-S on|off|required] service <password>
I would love any help to what im doing wrong or need to do to get this to work.
