This works, as well as
smbclient -L //  -I 
That way I need the ip address.

By the way, something seems wrong with my linux machine.
If I do ping homere (or homere.  and the name of the network) it does
not work from the Linux, but works very well from a XP machine !!!
homere is a XP machine.
There are plenty of weird behavior like this one.
Ping Teucidide.nxxxx  (my linux machine) works fine.
However, I cannot make Teucidide receive email from outside either !
I am using a dhcp.

I am missing something !

Thank.

Regards
