If I explicitly add the ip of the share to the host file on the client machine, I can ping the share from another machine, otherwise I get a nice "host not found". In the host file case connecting to it gives a "No Network Provider accepted the given network path" error on the client, and the following in the server logs for a random number of times:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE>16:30:36,352 DEBUG [org.alfresco.smb.protocol] Winsock NetBIOS session request received, caller=[MUON:WorkStation,Unique,]<BR />16:30:36,352 DEBUG [org.alfresco.smb.protocol] Waiting for Win32 NetBIOS session request (Winsock) …<BR />16:30:36,352 DEBUG [org.alfresco.smb.protocol] Server session started<BR />16:30:36,352 DEBUG [org.alfresco.smb.protocol] ## Session closing - Remote disconnect<BR /><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><BR /><SPAN>I ran nbtstat from the client machine, and get similar results from nbtstat -a &lt;servername&gt; and nbtstat -A &lt;serverIP&gt;, and a big nothing from nbtstat -a &lt;sharename&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;serverName&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;00&gt;&nbsp; UNIQUE&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Registered<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PNL&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;00&gt;&nbsp; GROUP&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Registered<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;serverName&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;20&gt;&nbsp; UNIQUE&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Registered<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PNL&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;1E&gt;&nbsp; GROUP&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Registered<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;shareName&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;20&gt;&nbsp; UNIQUE&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Registered<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;shareName&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;00&gt;&nbsp; UNIQUE&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Registered<BR /><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Here is the relevant portions of the file-server-custom.xml</SPAN><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />&lt;config evaluator="string-compare" condition="CIFS Server" replace="true"&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;host name="${localname}_a" domain="pnl.gov"/&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;comment&gt;Alfresco CIFS Server&lt;/comment&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp; <BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;!– Set to the broadcast mask for the subnet –&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;broadcast&gt;130.20.108.255&lt;/broadcast&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp; <BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;!– Use Java socket based NetBIOS over TCP/IP and native SMB on linux –&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;tcpipSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;netBIOSSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;hostAnnounce interval="5"/&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp; <BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;!– Use Win32 NetBIOS interface on Windows –&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;Win32NetBIOS/&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;Win32Announce interval="5"/&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp; <BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;sessionDebug flags="Errors,Negotiate,Socket,NetBIOS,Errors"/&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/config&gt;<BR /><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any idea what to check out next?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Lawndart (edited to add more info)</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:33:16 GMT lawndart 2007-01-31T00:33:16Z CIFS on Win2003 https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/cifs-on-win2003/m-p/69777#M44932 I'm having issues with the CIFS share on a windows 2003 server.
