samba - May 2000 - Help>>

Hi, 

I downloaded the SAMBA binary code for Solaris 2.7.
and  try to let it running, but get some kind error.

The environment:

Samba version: 2.0.7
Samba server: server01 (192.168.1.14)  
NT client   : client01 (161.192.1.86)
                           <==different networker and
NT client's resource controlled by Novell...

/opt/samba/lib/smb.conf:
       [global]
             workgroup = UFO
       [test]
           path= /export/home/test
           guest ok=yes

When I try to map to nt, I get some error:
    c:\> net use g:\\server01\test
  "The Network path was not found"           <===
I already put the ip address for the server and client
in the lmhosts and hosts file.  I do not know why the
NT client can not map it.

Another thing:  how can put the Solaris server and NT
client in the same group (UFO)???? 

Thanks

Mike

You can't route from 192.168.x.x to 161.192.x.x directly, at least not
over the Internet, because 192.168.x.x is reserved for an internal-only
subnet.  I'm guessing you have some sort of NAT (network address
translation) somewhere.  Check with your network administrator for how
to establish basic TCP/IP connectivity between the two subnets.

Also, by "controlled by Novell" do you mean you are using the Windows
Netware client?  If so, check to make sure you have "Client for
Microsoft Networks" also installed (under "network properties",
the
"services" tab) and that it is bound to TCP/IP.

In Samba, use "workgroup=UFO" in smb.conf.
In NT, set the workgroup to UFO in the "network properties" window,
under the "identity" tab.
