RE: IFS Share and Windows XP Access

Yes, make sure that the user ID is not domain qualified in the login
box.  (i.e. Domain\user ID, just enter the iSeries ID)  Also, we have
had bad luck with users who had mixed case passwords.  

Use iSeries Nav to verify whether or not the user ID's are getting
disabled.  If they are not you're not getting to the iSeries; if they
are getting disabled you have a password issue.

subject: IFS Share and Windows XP Access

Greetings all,

I have a customer who is running V5R3M0 and has created shares on the
IFS. 
It is all part of their Domain.  They are testing two Microcrap XP
boxes, 
one with SP 1 and the other with SP2.  The problem is that neither one
of 
these PC's are able to access any of the file shares. 

They can map to those shares with all other types of workstations, 98SE,

w2k.  When trying to map with XP, they are prompted with a login box,
but 
after trying to log in, they get the floating hour glass.

Has anyone seen or has been part of something like this?

Thanks,
