[Samba] Unable to see linux files on windows using Samba[system error 53]

[Premkumar Stephen]

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
