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

Gary

Yes, it's a W2K bug indeed.

I tried from another client and it works :lol:

Thanks Gary!
