I have two SBS servers, one 2000 the the other 2003. Each server has two
NICS, one for the wild side and the other for the internal network. Both
servers internal NIC is configured with 192.168.16.xxx range address and are
plugged into the same switch. One server is a production server that
everyone logs into and the other is a test server that few people log into.
The problem is when we try to acces the production server using the "NET"
command. I was hoping to use a remote share to bring production files into
the test environment. When I issue the following "NET" command I get a
"System error 53 has occurred." and the command fails.
NET USE G: \\192.168.16.2\G password /USER:domainprod\username
/PERSISTENT:NO
The IP address is the internal NIC card on the production server and "G" is
a share name to the "G" drive on that server. "password
/USER:domainprod\username" is a valid name and password on the production
server. I can ping the address without a problem.
Anyone have a clue what is causing the error?
I have searched the net and can't seem to get a explanation of what is
causing the error. The computer that is failing, is abel to access another
remote computer across a VPN connection which is a Windows 2000 Server using
basically the same syntax without a problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA
Mark
