We don't have dns set up in our lan. I still tried your suggestion below but it did not work. It is rather strange as it worked only 2 weeks ago, then suddenly stopped. I don't think I changed anything on eiter machine between then and now. The only thing I did with the SUSE box was security updates.
This command works: mybox:/mnt/smb/studentserver # smbmount //studentserver/class class/ -o username=g4323_22,ip=172.20.122.4,workgroup=geog
