Re: QNTC and Windows 7 shares (V5R4)

Brad --

We've been having intermittent issues with QNTC. We have some apps that write files to Windows servers through QNTC directly, and from time-to-time they won't. Write, that is.

As you mentioned, make absolutely, positively certain that you're using the same profile and password on both the iSeries and the Server. Also make sure that the password is the same case on both systems-- from what I've heard, if you change your iSeries password using the Windows pop-up box you can violate the password rules on the iSeries. Change the password from a green-screen, then change it on the Server.

Also, make sure the profile on the network side really, truly is enabled and active! (:

Another thing we've been doing is manually creating a QNTC link-- MKDIR DIR('/QNTC/servername'). Any QNTC link you create manually disappears at IPL time, so we attempt to re-create the link after each IPL and every 3 hours (just to make sure).

I have a customer and myself that are having problems seeing Shares on
Windows 7 machines through QNTC.

I thought I would test it on my own machine first and found my XP
machine shares show up fine, but for Windows 7 machines all I See is
the computer name under QNTC, but no shared folders under that.

The shares are set up with authority for everyone, I sign into the
AS/400 with the same userid and pw used on the windows 7 machine and
nothing.

Example:

WRKLNK '/qntc/w7box/*'

shows nothing when there should be a few folders listed.

WRKLNK '/qntc/wxpbox/*'

shows all the shares available with no problem.

I found a PTF that was supposed to address this issue but it didn't
seem to do anything to help.

Anyone else have the same issue or know of a fix? thanks!
