Network Problems

[vbehler]

Howdy all,

I have a rather complicated problem, my server isn't allowing other computers on the network to see it's 2 mapped drives,

when i go to map the drives this is what i would normally put in

\\foodchain\cdrive
\\foodchain\edrive

but it will not accept these any more for some reason it will only accept the following but the network programs that i use will not work unless they have the above addresses not the ones below

\\192.168.0.3\cdrive
\\192.168.0.3\edrive

i hope this helps,

Thankyou in advance

Vince Behler

Hello vbehler,

If you can not work via names it can be DNS. Please post an unedited ipconfig
/all from the servers and one problem client. Also check that NetBIOS over
TCP/IP is enabled to see shares over network neighbourhood

Best regards
