Description Sten Sletbak 2004-05-06 05:01:47 UTC 
# smbclient //realname/share -U user -I x.x.x.x
Password:
Domain=[DOM] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.2-6.3E]
smb: \>

As expected.

# smbclient //alias/share -U user -I x.x.x.x
Password:
Domain=[DOM] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.2-6.3E]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

The same command from a samba 2.x client works fine.

smb.conf

netbios aliases = alias
include = /etc/samba/smb.%L

file for the aliased server configuration: /etc/samba/smb.alias

it's connecting to port 445 by default.  run 
'smbclient .... -p 139'.
