Stew is right, smbfs doesn't work anymore and you need to use cifs.

But your problem is probably because you need to add hpxp as an alias to 
92.168.0.244 in /etc/hosts. Here's an example of my /etc/hosts file on my 
desktop. "buddy" is my desktop and server, and "lappy" is my laptop.

david at buddy:~$ cat /etc/hosts

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
192.168.2.2 buddy davidcentral
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.2.3 lappy
