I have a X Server G4 running perfectly, it seems...

When I try to connect from a NT box, I can browse the network, see the first-level folders of my X server, but when I want to browse the content, I get this precise message;

(NTserver\sharedfolder)
The network name cannot be found

Can someone describe to me a working config, NT + X, so that I can calmly compare it to mine....


thanx

Ive seen this with 98 systems connecting to X server. It seems to be the name of the share point is to long or an "invalid" name for the 98 systems. I changed the name of the share point to somthing short and simple, and the 98 systems where fine after that..
