Re: [PLUG] Samba/DNS question

[Bill Patterson <patterson@computer.org>]

when I enter
net use T: \\192.118.1.102\test
on my Windows box aiming at a Linux box running RH9, I get
Error 53: The computer name specified in the network path cannot be located.
Make sure you are specifying the computer name correctly, or try again 
later when the remote computer is available.

The box does respond to putty, so I know there is a connection of some sort.

So I know Windows is not happy.

Can you show me the error of my ways? <grin>
