IF the OS isn' t able to see the remote system via a "net view", then SA won't be able to it either.
If the OS can do it, then SA should be able to do it too Dirk Bulinckx.

Windows cannot find the network path. Verify that the network path is correct and the destination computer is not busy or turned off. If Windows still cannot find the network path, contact your network administrator. Mark, both machines are on the same side of the firewall and are able to ping each other. One thing I noticed, I used to be able to see the standalone machine in the Workgroup computers listing. Not anymore… Regards Ziem -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: 03 September 2007 16:21 To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] 53 error >From the system running SA (and logged on as the same user that runs Servers >Alive) can you do net view \\name-of-remote-system (file:///\\name-of-remote-system) And what does that give? Dirk Bulinckx. From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ziemowit Kiwer Sent: Monday, September 03, 2007 5:11 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] 53 error Hi, We used to run few NT service checks on a standalone XP pc. Everything was fine until we switched to a new hardware firewall (ext IP and DNS details changed as well). Since then we keep getting 53 error “connect to host failed” / ”network path was not found”. People who manage the firewall are saying that they aren’t blocking any internal traffic – both machines (the standalone one and the SA one) are on the same subnet. Is there any other reason for getting this particular error, other than firewall? P.S. I can run those checks for a domain machine. Regards Ziem This email and any attachments are confidential.
