[luau] Re: Map network drive in 2000 (Nakashima)

[Todd Lee]

If the windows box is external to the network, (I think you mentioned
this) how is it routed there?  VPN?  If so NetBIOS won't work.  try
mapping to the IP instead.

net use x: \\1.2.3.4\sharename

If not check your firewall setting also, ports 138, 139 I think should
be open.  Can you ping the Linux box?

Hope that helps
Todd

Done. Except the example that was in there already said Yes instead of
True, so I used that.

	os level = 80
	preferred master = Yes
	domain master = Yes

Under WINS I checked
Enable LMHOSTS
and
Use NetBIOS setting from the DHCP server

The message that I get is
"Attempting to connect to \\LINUX\LYNN1S..."
"The mapped network drive could not be created because the following
error has occurred:" "The network location cannot be reached. For
information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help."
