I have a samba server configured on an AIX system I am able to access it from my NT Machine. since it's on a different Segment, I declared the IP address on 'lmhosts' file. Now I need to access the same from another Unix System. But my client cannot find the server. Is there anything corresponding to the 'lmosts' in Unix. The client program is working since I can access my local NT machie from it. I am using the AIX Connect.client program as the client. (Ofcource I dont have any access to the Server.. Other wise I could ve managed with NFS.) DO I need to configure Wins on my system.?. Wins is not running properly on my system too. I know, too much questions. But I was going thru all the FAQs for the last 2 days.. and could nt find any.. Regards Sajan Lukose
