Sharing MS-DOS Drive 6.22 From Win2k Pro

[Systime]

Hi,

We have a number of DOS 6.22 PCs with Microsoft Network 3.0 Client. We have
connected all these machines on a LAN along with W2k Professional PC. We
wanted to access the Hard Disks of all the DOS PCs from the W2K PC. We use
the "net use" command to create a drive. While doing so we face a problem
namely : Sometime it connects and sometime it fails with a error message
("System Error 53" : Host not found) on the W2K PC. Also we observed if we
have installed SP4 for W2K , the connection always fails. Is there a
solution ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You could try to add the hostname of the DOS machine to the
\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\LMHOSTS file on the W2K computer or add it to
the WINS database (if you have one, on a nt/w2k server).
