Network Path was not found

By ammer.selham ·
Dear All,
Our organaization is running under NT4.0 domain. Last week I installed a BDC for our domain, everything seems OK, but I have one problem which is: the server name appears in the Network Neighborhood when I dubble click on it I get the following message" \\tadbac is not accessible. the network path was not found"
Does anybody know how to solve this problem.

Regards,

Ammer

Network Path was not found

Easy.
Add a record in the LMHOSTS file on the BDC that points to the PDC. Sometimes you have to do this type of thing, especially if the BDC is on a different subnet than the PDC.
So, in the LMHOSTS file, put in the IP address, machine name and the #PRE command. For example, say your PDC is called MYPDC and it has IP 10.1.1.5
The LMHOSTS file would look like this:

10.1.1.5 MYPDC #PRE

Try that.

hope this helps
