There is a windows configuration setting you can tweak, but you may do well to steer clear of AD authentication.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>And you will have problems with windows 7's own CIFS implementation on TCP interfering with what should be NETBIOS.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>You can bodge a work around it by adding a dummy hosts entry to make the TCP lookup fail - but that's not something to be relied upon.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:32:13 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/cifs/m-p/254698#M207828 mrogers 2012-01-24T15:32:13Z
