[Samba] System error 53 has occurred

[Chai-Wang Chang]

Dear Sir,   I have been getting this error on the PC site when I tried to connect to the Samba server. I have Red Hat 8.0 installed and I am using Windows 2000 Server as client. I have tried all the steps listed in the ‘DIAGNOSIS.txt’ and here are the results. Test 1, 2,3,4 passed. Test 5: I can only use IP but not PC Name. Test 6, 7 passed. Test 8: I got “System error 53 has occurred.” from PC. I did add server name to the lmhosts file and the result is still the same. Test 9: Failed. Same error as Test 8. Test 10: passed. Test 11: The samba server did appear in the File Manager. But, when I double click on the name, the same error as Test 8 appeared.   I am looking for help and any suggestion to solve this problem. Your kindly response is greatly appreciated. Thanks.   Best regards, Chai-Wang Chang
