The message for SYS0053 reads:

SYS0053: The network path was not found.

EXPLANATION: The server that you specified does not exist or has not
been started.

ACTION: Do one of the following and retry the command:
o  Verify that you specified the path name correctly.
o  Verify that the server specified is started.

Contact your network administrator if you continue to have problems.

It means your computer can't see the other and could be caused by a 
set up or hardware problem.

The above indicates a hardware problem.
