CIFS on Alfresco 2.9B not working

Hey,I can't seem to connect to the CIFS server. Possibly because of the domain problems. Howevere with my alfresco release came the README.txt from 2.1 which states to use the file: file-server-custom.xml and add the domain setting to the <host name /> property. Problem is, there is no host

Hi

Try connecting to "${localname}A" i.e. without the underscore.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks man, that works

edit: any idea how I can specify a domain in the config? Who knows what I'll need it for.

And imo it's not a good idea to include an outdated readme.txt with outdated info in a release.

There's more information here:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/File_Server_Configuration#SMB.2FCIFS_Server_Configuration

Although if your current configuration works, you probably don't need the domain.

And imo it's not a good idea to include an outdated readme.txt with outdated info in a release.
