Re: as400 as a samba/nt client

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chad, you can see anything on the iSeries via Windows file shares. The 
product is called NetServer on iSeries. And you need to start it - can be 
automatic when TCP/IP starts.

You probably can't see anything becasue the server for NetServer has NOT 
been started. On the iSeries, try STRTCPSVR SERVER(*NETSVR)

Then try wrklnk '/qntc' again

See my previous post for setting up file shares or print shares.
