FreeBSD mount_smbfs problem

[kag]

I have a weird problem. To make a story short, when I use: mount_smbfs -N //STRIDER/docs /mnt/docs, it gives a timeout.

According to nsmb.conf:
[STRIDER😀RAGSTER]
password=$$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
workgroup=MYNET
addr=strider.example.com

And according to /etc/hosts, 192.168.0.2 strider.example.com

But when I use mount_smbfs -N -I 192.168.0.2 //STRIDER/docs /mnt/docs
(which should do the exact same thing), I get an authentification error.

The problem is that it was working fine for the last 6 months. My roommate can access this share from his computer, so it's not a firewall that was left enabled.

This guy had the same problem, but it doesn't seem to be answered. Do you have any clue on what's going on?

Anything in the server logs? See anything funky with tcpdump? Tried NFS? 😛

Well I checked every single file from /var/log that was marked as last modified today, and nothing at all. I don't know if it could be logged elsewhere?

I worked the problem down. It's not a SMB problem.
How come when I do a "smbutil lookup strider", it says "Got reponse from 192.168.0.2" (which is good) and then "IP address of strider: 192.168.152.1" ???
strider is specified as 192.168.0.2 in /etc/hosts ("ping strider" effectively pings 192.168.0.2)

This is where my problem is. If I would get 192.168.0.2 instead of 192.168.152.1, I'm sure it would work.

Grep everything in /etc (and /usr/local/etc if FreeBSD uses that abomination) for the strange IP address.
