The main point is that Mike use "net use * \\presario\tmp" instead of "net use f: \\presario\jmccarty" . I had seen the FAQ after yr reminding. Perhaps, I write that *** OR *** "net use f: \\SMB_IP_ADDRESS\jmccarty" is misleading. However, In my experience, \\SMB_IP_ADDRESS\Share_Folder is used sucessfully to connect from Window 98 to Fedora Core 2. I don't know whether \\SMB_IP_ADDRESS\C$ is specified to Windows Folder Sharing. Since C$ has been seen in Windows Folder Sharing, rather than Samba on Linux. Anyway, thank you for yr reminder!

Quoting the FAQ on the nu2.nu page: Q: I've loaded the network drivers (tcp), all OK. When I use "net use f: \\192.168.10.15\c$" I get "Error 53: The computer name specified in the network path cannot be located". A: You cannot use IP-based machine names when using Microsoft client. You need to enter the real machine name: "net use f: \\servername\c$". I think the other post about opening port 137 for UDP has merit. The only time I've had to mess with this I've had a fully functioning DNS server to resolve the names. -- William Hooper -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
