smbclient -M questioin

[spazzmatrix]

I have two networks connected via a router, most are linux based but a few are winblows.

What i want to do is send messages using smbclient -M to certain users on the other network.

eg.
networkone has 192.168.0.* ips
networktwo the same ip addresses.
My main ip out to the net is something like 63.161.104.*

So if I want to send a message to computer frank on networktwo from networkone how would i go about it?

if i am not explaining very well I will try better.

Thanks.

Could it be that the router between the two subnets is blocking the traffic? I remember reading somewhere that routers do not pass certain types of traffic along to other subnets.

I need to know what command i would type to send a message to ip address 192.168.0.102 on networktwo from networkone.

The router is a simple thin client so no firewalling is being done.

Here ya go....

echo "HELLO" | smbclient -M hostname -I IP ADDRESS

Oh and unless smbclient is in your path, switch over to the usr/bin directory.

HELLO from ROOT should appear on his screen.

Thanks, that seams to work the way i wanted.
