Dear "Linux Power 2002",

I have seen you repeatedly give either bad or unsupported 
or misleading advice.  Please try to be specific if your 
comments.  I realize you are trying to help, but this 
statement is just wrong.

Path not found implies netbios name resolution issues which 
have nothing to do with the client's operating system in 
general.


Gary, 

please ensure that the broadcast addresses used by the 
server and client match.  Also if the two hosts are not on the 
same broadcast segment (e.g. subnet), you should look 
at the "wins support" parameter in smb.connf(5).




cheers, jerry
