ETC Microsoft Windows
1

I am trying to set a share between windows and an AIX server. I was able to do this to a windows 2008 server. I am now trying to get this to worked on a windows 7 enterprise pc. below is what i get. I have turned off the firewall wall in windows the user is an admin in the pc. same account works fine on a 2008 server.

C:\Users\fedex>showmount -e 192.168.1.41
Exports list on 192.168.1.41:
/tmp/fedx                          All Machines
/data/sys1                         All Machines

C:\Users\fedex>mount 192.168.1.41:/data/sys1 y:
Network Error - 53

Type 'NET HELPMSG 53' for more information.

mount 192.168.1.41:/data/sys1 y:\

perhaps?
Is that native?
I thought I had a win7pro with all and I have no NFS and have to fight...

tried that and it still did not work. When i first tested i did this on server 2008 r2 and it all worked fine with the code i listed.

Is your PC using DHCP? If not I would add your PC's address to the remote host's /etc/hosts file... I had a similar issue (but not NFS) solved using a ?\etc\hosts file on my PC... but where? maybe in c:\windows\System32\drivers ?
