i have a problem when try to mount a share folder on Windows NT4 Server.

If i try with netbios name "Server01" the net use command take :

net use * \\server01\diskE /u:administrator password

this error appared :

System error 53 has occurred.
The network path was not found.

if i try with the same command but instead the netbios name use a ip address
with same account and password the operation successful!

Why ?

My DNS resolve server01 with the correct ip ...
My Server is Windwos NT4 SP6a and the client is Windows XP SP1
Other client XP have the same problem!

Thanks
 
Can you ping using the netbios name? If not, check your dns on your NT4
server have your AD/DNS server IP address as the only DNS server in your
TCP/IP configuration.

Just a thought.

If your only protocol is TCP/IP and you disabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP, that is
probably your problem.

This can also be caused by some 3rd party DNS servers, that do not support SRV
records.

To enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP:

1. Start / Settings / Network and Dial-up Connections.

2. Right-click Local Area Connection and press Properties.

3. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and press Properties / Adsvanced / Wins.

4. Click Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

5. Press OK until you are out. You can ignore the 'empty primary WINS address'
message.

If you don't want to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP, you could install NetBEUI on
the clients and the server.
