Re: no mapped drive

Hi Rebecca,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

1. Yes, pinging via IP and NetBIOS name work just fine.
2. No, the drive does not map ("network name cannot be found") from terminal
session or local console.
3. We use the name in the logon script. Map by IP address DOES work.
4. Yes, using the IP address works fine.

nslookup returns the address of the file server perfectly.

Flushing and re-registering the file server in DNS made no difference.

Still looking,
Mike
