SMBFS issues

[outlawal2]

Attempting to connect to a WINXP box with my Amiga and have the Plipbox installed and configured and it works fine with Amiga Explorer
I bolded that to show that the Plipbox is working as it should and is verified

With that said I have installed SMBFS and cannot get it to work for me. 
Running from the console I type the following:
smbfs service=//xp1/amiga workgroup=skynet user=ghost password=xxxxxx

This errors out with the following:
smbfs program failed (error #80000006) Wait for disk activity to finish

Then I need to restart from scratch.
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong here? 

For the record I can connect to the XP machine from other Windows machines on my network with no issues.
Please advise

Thank you for the suggestion.. IS that a different version of SMBFS or is that a parameter to run within SMBFS?
Please advise

Thanks!

KOLLA
I can ping the IPv4 address from the Amiga but SMBFS will not allow me to use the IP address as the host name.  (Which I find to be perplexing as I would think that if ANYTHING should work the IP address should!) And no, none of my machines are using IPv6.  IPv4 for all machines, with most of them in a Windows domain with Windows domain controllers.  XP1 is the only machine running in a workgroup as it was specifically built for no other purpose than to communicate with my Amiga machines.  XP1 DOES communicate with the other domain PCs and can share files once I provide the password manually so I know that the XP1 share works properly. (At least as far as Windows machines go anyway.) Reading about the newest version of SMBFS I see that it is supposed to work with Windows 7 so I may spin up a Windows 7 VM and see if that works instead.  There may be some issues with the version of SMB being used on my Windows PCs that is causing a problem communicating with the Amiga.

Last night I grabbed the latest version of SMBFS and replaced the older version on the Amiga but ran into the same issues with XP.  (I haven't had a chance to try the debug options yet as I don't know how to use them, but once I do I will post some more info here.)

Really appreciate everyone's help and more to come!

Not sure if I tried that or not. I do know that pinging the IP works but I will test name resolution when I get home. (At work now)
Thanks for the help!

OK, Ping XP1 does not work, but PING 192.168.0.15 does...   And yet SMBFS will not accept the IP address as a host name.   So now I tried the following:
SMBFS service=//XP1/AMIGAVAULT workgroup=WORKGROUP user=GHOST password=password

ONE TIME it showed as connected.  But nothing showed on the desktop and I could not see any way to "see" it or access it.  Thought I would try DOPUS at this point and it hung.
Now every time I run it, it simply hangs the system requiring a total restart.

I find all of this behavior as strange as it won't ping XP1 and yet it did connect, once.  And no idea why I can't ping it as I have my nameserver listed in the route file and the nameserver file as well in DEVS/Networks

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I am using a Plipbox NIC and RoadShow IP stack..

Thanks guys I will give that a try and see how it goes.

Entered the info in my HOSTS file and still locks up when I try to connect and interestingly still does not ping the hostname
Do I need to remove my entries for my nameservers when I use HOST file? 

[outlawal2]

Yeah I agree with you.
Sounds like too many things going on in multiple places so I may just grab another drive and try a fresh 3.1.4 install and start from scratch and see if I have better luck

Of the versions of SMBFS available for 68000 which version(s) do other folks have that are currently working correctly for them?
I have read some conflicting info regarding versions so which version do folks recommend for a fresh install on 68000?

[outlawal2]

Well USUALLY I default to using the latest version of whatever software is available as that is generally the best route. 
I only asked the question because I seem to recall some folks not recommending the newest version due to some bugs that could be show stoppers.  Since I can't verify what individual people say on a forum I wanted to see what the consensus was regarding what version everyone was using and why. 

Thanks for all the responses folks much appreciated!

Excellent thank you

If I may ask how are you using it? Meaning what are you connecting to on the other end?  Windows XP box, MAC, maybe a NAS?
Just trying to narrow things down a bit to remove as many variables as I can.  Thanks!
