[Leaplist] help on LAN name resolve

Assuming from your other examples you're wanting to
connect to a machine named UBUNTU and mount the share
named PUBLIC to /mnt/u_pub...

mount -t cifs //`nmblookup UBUNTU |grep 00 |cut -d " " -f 1`/PUBLIC /mnt/u_pub

Let nmblookup find the machine's IP.

("mount -t cifs" works the same as "mount.cifs")

...better authors than myself have written the man pages
for nmblookup and mount.cifs...  Many more options there
than the examples I've posted.
