The Server Message Block protocol is a Microsoft-developed protocol that is
used in the IBM PC LAN program and OS/2 LAN server. It is a presentation layer
protocol corresponding to Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) in the AppleTalk Protocol
Stack. Since this server is running the PC LAN program, it is an SMB server.
1) Workstation Name: Workstation Name is the name of your workstation. It
tells the network administrator who you are. You can enter any name in this
field as long as it has at least one character. The limit is 14 characters.
Note that if you are using an OS/2 LAN server, this name must exactly match
the username created on the OS/2 server (all in uppercase).
2) When you Add an SMB volume name, the format is \\\\ServerName\\VolumeName.
Server Name is found by issuing the NET NAME command on the server machine.
In your case, it is DOM1 as also stated in the NET START command in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Volume Name is the same name you specified in the NET SHARE command. For
example, the following shares a volume name "EXAMPLES" for read/write access
and with password TESTPASS:
NET SHARE EXAMPLES = C:\\SMB\\EXAMPLES TESTPASS /RW
Note that you "equate" the path to a volume name in the above NET SHARE
command on the server, and then use that volume name when you add the server
volume. The hard drive name on the server has nothing to do with this
utility.
The password is optional if you did not specify one in the NET SHARE
command on the server. For testing until you get it to work, omit the
password. You can always add a password later. If you specify only the
root directory of the drive (such as C:\\), all files on that drive are
available to other computers.
To display the sharing status on the server, issue the NET SHARE command
without any parameters: NET SHARE. We suggest that you check into this
since we did not see any NET SHARE command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Remember, you need to use NET SHARE to "publish" a volume to be shared.
3) Once you have added a volume, select it and click the Connect button. Leave
the password field blank, if you did not enter a password in the NET SHARE
command on the server.
If the volume is successfully mounted, its name appears in the lower SMB
server DA window.
If you add the names of all SMB volumes on your network at one time,
later, when you want to access a different volume, its name will already be
an option in the Select an SMB volume window.
4) Also, make sure that you use the Apple File Exchange shipped with the latest
SMB File Transfer Utility.
We hope that this helps to clear the confusion between server name, volume
name, pathname, and so on.
