Rod,
Do you by chance have a hosts allow or hosts deny line in your smb.conf
file?

I am using DNS and both names will resolve via DNS.
I can issue #nmblookup -B rodj_laptop -d2 "*"
it returns a positive response.
Any other further ideas?

Hi Rod,
Sounds like you have a name resolution problem - a couple of ways to
resolve it;
1. if you have a wins server, make samba a wins server client by adding
the line wins server = <ipaddress of wins server>
And additionally make sure your clients on the other subnet are using the
SAME wins server.
2. If you use a dns server, make sure that samba netbios name and the
clients are all resolvable
via dns, and that the clients are set up to use dns to resolve names.
you can check to see if a client and or samba name is resolvable using
the unix command
nslookup <name>
3. you can use lmhosts file on the clients and samba server... tedious.
Read more about it in Chapter 7 of "Using Samba" available at:

Hope this helps,
don

Hello all,
I am new to this list and to samba. I used samba in a previous life, but
someone else installed and maintained it.
I am have a small issue that I do not know if it is resolvable. Here it is:
I have installed samba on the server named "kirk", our master domain
controller for nt is named "picard". They are on the same subnet. My
clients are on a different subnet. My client can see kirk in the network
neighborhood, but when accessed it returns "\\kirk is not accessible The
network path was not found."
I am not sure what other info I need to provide. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks
Rod.
