Running into an interesting problem.
I have two FAS 980s, one running 7.0.5, and another running 7.3.2, they have been running without a hitch for sometime now, fully accessible on UNIX and Windows XP.
I'm in the process of upgrading our systems from XP to VISTA Enterprise and ran across an odd issue, all the CIFS shares have a preceding "1".
i.e.
XP Vista
home home1
appl appl1
global global1
so on and so forth.
Funny thing is, when I browse to the share on Vista, the shares looks like this
home1 (/vol/home)
appl1 (/vol/appl)
global1 (/vol/global)
When I try to connect to the share, I get the following error message:
\\FILER\home1 is not accessible. You might not have the permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Network Timeout or HCLNFSD/PCNFSD not running on host.
When I try to connect directly to the share, \\FILER\home, I get the following error:
Windows cannot access \\FILER\home
Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve problems, click Diagnose. <-- Which, BTW, was pointless
I've check the filer configuration, domain controller, network settings on the PCs, and nothing seems to stand out as a possible culprit.
I believe it might be a Vista setting.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
