samba - Apr 2003 - Re: Win XP 'Network path was not found' Error when connecting to Samba s

Sorry, for the resend, but I found out another piece of information that may be
helpful.  I did a Ethereal check and then tried accessing the Samba Serve from
my XP box.  The Linux box got 3 NBNS Name queries on the Share Sambaserve and
the response from the linux box was a ICMP saying Destination unreachable.  Then
3 more NBNS broadcasts for the name query which Linux did not respond to.

Thank you for your time.
