These are the steps that I have executed: </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>1. Copied Win32NetBIOS.dll to c:\windows\system32</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2. Change file-servers.xml in &lt;ALFRESCO_HOME&gt;\tomcat\webapps\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco and added the following lines to this file:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;config evaluator="string-compare" condition="CIFS Server"&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;serverEnable enabled="true"/&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;host name="${localname}_A"/&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;comment&gt;Alfresco CIFS Server&lt;/comment&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;!– Set to the broadcast mask for the subnet –&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;broadcast&gt;255.255.255.255&lt;/broadcast&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;hostAnnounce interval="5"/&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;!– Use Win32 NetBIOS interface on Windows –&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;Win32NetBIOS api="winsock"/&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;Win32Announce interval="5"/&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;sessionDebug flags="Negotiate,Socket"/&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/config&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have then restarted Alfresco and when I execute the command:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>nbtstat -n</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I see in the NetBIOS table the name that refers to ${localname}_A. I then use</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>net use ${localname}_A </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>to connect to the share. The login prompt is displayed, but the login fails always.
