Hello: I hope you can help me with this problem. We have been using Samba on a Free BSD machine for about a year. Everything works well connecting from our NT workstations. We just added another subnet to our LAN, and workstations on the new subnet cannot access the Samba server. At a workstation on the new subnet: I followed the "Diagnosing Your Samba Server" doc, and everything works up to Test 8, which at the workstation gives me the error "System error 53 has occurred, The network path was not found". But, from the same workstation If I do a "net view" of any NT servers on the other subnet, it will work fine. I tried: * adding the IP address of the Samba server to the wins server box in the tcp/ip setup on the PC * enabling WINS via DNS in the tcp/IP setup on the PC * adding the SAMBA server to the lmhosts file on the PC I haven't tried the last item: "fixup the nmbd installation". I'm not sure how to do this. Thanks for any help you can give me. Ron Stinson Principal IT Specialist Abatis Systems Corp. 200 - 4190 Still Creek Drive Burnaby B.C. V5C 6C6 (604) 918-4730

Add this to `smb.conf': wins support = yes Also, if you use DHCP (highly recommended, if you can), add this to `dhcpd.conf' so you don't have to specify it on your clients: option netbios-name-servers a.b.c.d; Finally, if you have any other Samba servers, remember to use the `smb.conf' option: wins server = a.b.c.d Peter
