[Samba] how to verify the connection between a Samba server and a Windows Xp client?

[Michael Gong]

Hi, Joe,

I typed :
    net use x: \\WINNY\gong

The output is:
    System error 53 has occurred.
    The network path was not found.

Then I stopped my Kerio firewall, and try the command again.
The output is:
    System error 1234 has occurred.

    No service is operating at the destination network endpoint on the
remote system.


In either way, it doesn't prompt me to input password.

What may be the problem?

Thanks.
 Michael
