Hello In 2 different subnets I have setup 2 identical samba servers (RH 6.5) as fileservers for windows clients. Each is a member of it's own AD Domain (Windows 2003 Servers). The problem: one of them only is accessible and sharing locally. On the windows-client, trying to mount a share gives this error: C:\Users\testuser>net use y: \\samba_server\topfolder /user:testuser System error 64 has occurred. The specified network name is no longer available.

There doesn't seem to be a firewall in between. Kerberos and ldap seem to be ok, otherwise I wouldn't be allowed to mount the share locally. Where to search for "the difference"? Obviously there is at least one... Any idea? Regards Peter
