OK,

I think I've tried just about everything I found in the forums, but I can't get the CIFS server to be identified by the file explorer in W2K.

I have changed the file-servers.xml file <broadcast> setting to match the broadcast mask of my network.

I have also added my domain in the domain parameter in file-servers.xml.

This is the result of my "nbtstat -n" command:

NetBIOS Local Name Table

     Name                          Type               Status
  ———————————————————-
  NCEALFRESCO         <20>  UNIQUE      Registered
  NCEALFRESCO         <00>  UNIQUE      Registered
  NCEDNOBREGADAC <00>  UNIQUE      Registered
  NCEDOM                 <00>  GROUP       Registered
  NCEDOM                 <1E>  GROUP       Registered
  NCEDNOBREGADAC <20>  UNIQUE      Registered

The name of the server configured in the fileserver.xml file is "NCEALFRESCO". I can't see it when I try to map a network drive and click on browse, but when I type \\NCEALFRESCO on the Run… field It connects to my own machine "NCEDNOBREGADAC" I can see the same shared folders but no folder called "alfresco" appears.

Seems to be behaving like an alias NCEALFRESCO=NCEDNOBREGADAC andv still no alfresco folder…

I'm tryieng to map the alfresco "shared folder" from the same computer as Alfresco 1.3 is installed.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks!

Hi,

Can you try accessing the Alfresco CIFS server from another client, is it accessible then ?.

There is a problem with Win2000 when trying to access the CIFS server on the same system due to a bug in the Windows NetBIOS code.

Cheers
