[Samba] problem mapping share using hostname of server
Running samba version 3.2 on AIX 6.1. Mapping share on windows 7 workstation. I can map the share using \\<ip<file:///\\%3cip> address>\testarea. If I attempt to map using using \\servername\testarea<file:///\\servername\testarea> I receive an error. smbclient -L //<servername>/testarea on the unix box is successful When I run a net view command I receive the following: C:\Users\Desktop>net view \\<servername>\testarea<file:///\\%3cservername%3e\testarea> System error 53 has occurred. Network path not found I'm leaning towards something not quite right between samba config and DNS? But I'm not sure where to look at this point. I Any input would be greatly appreciated smb.conf: [global] dns proxy = yes log file = /usr/local/samba/log.%m smb ports = 139 server string = Samba Server workgroup = NECA.ORG client lanman auth = yes encrypt passwords = yes security = user passdb backend = tdbsam max log size = 50 client plaintext auth = yes unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u [testarea] comment = Test Area path = /testarea public = no writable = yes printable = no Diane K.

Is the computer joined to the domain? And is the server a PDC or member server. If member server is it a member in AD or an NT4-style domain? > Running samba version 3.2 on AIX 6.1. Mapping share on windows 7 > workstation. 3.2 came out 2008 and is discontinued since almost 3 years. You should consider to move to a newer version. A lot of bugs have been fixed and support for "newer" windows OS like Win7 has been added and got improved. :-) Regards, Marc
