I have four computers in a network.
One system is the alfresco server, and the three other are the clients.

I have been using with out problems for about 2 months.

I recently built a new system, and that one is unable to mount the alfresco drive.The server and clients are Windows XP sp2 machines.

I can access the alfresco drive from the other PCs.
I can access the normal windows shared drive from the problem PC.
But I can not map the alfresco drive.

I have tried putting the host name in the lmhosts. - no luck
I have tried using the IP address to connect - no luck

The web interface works on all four machines.
Below is what I typed and got back when I tried to connect.

Any clues?

Thanks in advance,
Manuel

C:\Documents and Settings\administrator.CMT>net use \\akubra2
The command completed successfully.

C:\Documents and Settings\administrator.CMT>net use \\akubra2_a
The password or user name is invalid for \\akubra2_a.

Enter the user name for 'akubra2_a': mn
Enter the password for akubra2_a:
System error 52 has occurred.

You were not connected because a duplicate name exists on the network. Go to Sys
tem in Control Panel to change the computer name and try again.


C:\Documents and Settings\administrator.CMT>nbtstat -a akubra2_a
