What to use instead of Samba?

[Donn]

First, it would be very helpful to answer a few questions about your
systems:

1) What version(s) of Windows are you using?
2) Are you trying to setup a Primary Domain Controller?
3) Or, are you using simple Workgroups?
4) Do you have File and Printer sharing enabled on the Windows PC's?
5) Is NetBEUI installed on the Windows PC's
6) Do you have a WINS server defined for you internal network?
7) Are you using encrypted passwords on your Windows PC's? (this is the
default)
8) Have you setup smb passwords on the Samba server to match your PC user's
passwords?
9) lastly, how are you trying to connect to the share that results in the
'path is not found' message?
