How to get to samba share by name?
On windows mashine typing in explorer \\192.168.0.1 opens shares and 
\\server doesnt.
Mounting localy on server:
mount_smbfs -I 192.168.0.1 //server/data /mnt/samba - works
mount_smbfs //server/data /mnt/samba - mount_smbfs: can't get server 
address: syserr = Operation timed out
ping server - I get good response - ping works to that name.
/etc/hosts:
192.168.0.1 server.domain.com server
