Subject: Master Ethernet Upgrade

Having finally fitted the Master Ethernet Upgrade to a Master, and got it
working, I have some problems.

I am trying to mount a PC directory using *MOUNT. The PC runs W2K, is named
sarah and is part of a domain not a workgroup. The domain controller is a
W2k3 server which is also the DNS and the domain is chriswhy.local.

I can ping SARAH, by IP address.
I can *ping sarah.chriswhy.local , if I try *ping sarah I get "Host not
known".

If I try to mount sarah's Public directory using *mount, I get:

1. *mount \\sarah\public user pword  gives "Host not known"
2. *mount \\sarah.chriswhy\public user pword gives "Host not known"
2. *mount \\sarah.chriswhy.local\public user pword gives "Bad name"

Questions are:

1. Am I just being stupid (can't read manual)?
2. Does the Lanmanager rom support DNS suffix(es), if so how do I specify
it?
3. Why do I get a "Bad name" for mount with FQN? What is the maximum length
for a name?
4. Without change the rest of the network from a domain to workgroup model,
how do I make this work?
