I'm trying to use a network share via QNTC.
The target share is on a MAXTOR MAXAttach NAS 4000 server which is authenticating to an NT server.
When I try to display the server contents through WRKLNK, an error message shows up in the joblog CPDB052 Error establishing session with Network Server MAXTOR.
I have checked that the passwords on both AS/400 and NT are the same, and the same case.

I had a similar problem connecting to a netapp740 recently. It turned out that the netapp box wanted to communicate using a double byte character set, and the AS400 couldn't do it. A trace on the netapp box exposed that unambiguously. Call your vendor and see if there's a way to generate a trace. In order to make sense, I think it needs to come from the network appliance. Traces generate a lot of data. Start the trace, try to connect, maybe send a ping, and end the trace.


The other possibility is one that IBM level 1 suggested. Microsoft, and (I think) current versions of Samba support SMB signing, which is apparently something akin to sending an encrypted checksum in each message block (my very loose interpretation). The AS400 doesn't support that. On W2k Server2003, it can be turned off. Not so on netapp. Maybe on NAS4000 it's possible though. I never did connect to the netapp.
