I can use the webclient from other machines with no hassles, but only the local machine is able to connect to the CIFS share \\SERVER_H\Alfresco.More detailsExecuting nbtstat -n on the local machine lists

Hi,

In order to access the CIFS server with the default setup you would need NetBIOS enabled on the remote machines.

On a remote machine can you try 'nbtstat -a SERVER' and 'nbtstat -a SERVER_H', they should both list the remote NetBIOS name table.

hi,
I have succeessfully set up the cifs on win2003, I can see the folder from 2003 server (sp1),and also can access them from windows 2000(sp4), which doesn't ask for username/password.
but when I use it on Win XP(sp2),it requires me to enter username and password ,for this ,I have tried the username/password of the windows system ,and the alfresco system, but all failed.
