Hi Joel,
Thanks for informing me about the DIAGNOSIS.txt
I failed at step 8:
When I did a "net view", this is what I come up with
....
\\VAMLINUX.VMOMEN
...
whereas the server running samba is RedHat8.0 named "vamlinux"
and the windows workgroup name is "vmomentum"
All the previous steps were successful.
The error I get when I try
C:\>net view \\vamlinux
System error 53 has occurred.
The network path was not found.
I did a search for this error on the internet and edited my lmhosts file,
still the problem exists.
Please help!
TIA,
Prem
