I'm running into the same issues. I've installed Alfresco on my local machine. Every time I try to hit CIFS I get the "A duplicate name exists on the network" message.

I've changed the host name as well.

Anyone have any advice?

Hi,

Are you using WINS or broadcast lookups for NetBIOS ?.

You could try switching off native SMB/port 445 and see if that helps (there's some info at the bottom of this page on the wiki http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/File_Server_Configuration).

Cheers

Thank you!!

That did the trick. I commented out:
<tcpipSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
in file-servers.xml

And I added the registry key detailed on the WIKI. I'm now able to mount virtview.

Thanks again!

Has anyone found a solution to this issue which allows me to keep file sharing on. I ask because there are some situations where smb sharing is needed, such as a single server enviroment.
