I have FreeBSD 8.2 running as a guest in a VMWare player running on Windows7-64. Network is bridged, and both FreeBSD and Windows are DHCP clients. I am trying to mount a Windows share on the FreeBSD machine with no luck at all.
Basically, I have created a shared file on Windows. On FreeBSD I use
[cmd=]mount_smbfs //USERNAME@WINDOWS_HOSTNAME/share /mnt/pnt[/cmd]
and I get the error
I am able to mount a share on XP on a different machine. I also can ping the Windows 7 computer (though not when FreeBSD first boots -- but sometime later it starts working), I have disabled its firewall, removed all security from the share, etc. I have also done all the stuff mentioned in this thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com...g/thread/ecda546e-5fa0-4c09-9f3c-3bd132c1be68
I can connect to the share from XP. I also have added the Windows 7 computer to /etc/hosts.
I recognize that this is likely a Windows issue, but any help would be really appreciated. Any thoughts on how to get around this? I am stumped.

Code:
