[Samba] Windows 2000 and Samba

[Paul Harlow]

"Windows cannot find '\\server1'. Check Spelling..."
and
"The semaphore timeout has expired..."
The semaphore error comes up about a tenth of the time that the other one
does.

This server can be resolved without problems using both WINS and DNS. We're
not reaching across a subnet here, all machines affected are on the same
subnet. All machines, Win2k and WinNT4 can see this server in Network
Neighborhood/Places fine as well. It's just that when you click on them or
type their names in the address field they're not accessible with the given
messages returned as errors.
If already tried removing and reinstalling Windows Networking from these
machines to no avail.

Can the w2k pro machines see the AIX box in my network places?

are you trying to do this across subnets?

Is there an error message you can share?
