  • Subject: AS/400 Network drives on PC
  • From: Rob Dixon <rob.dixon@xxxxxxxxxxx>

I am sure that I am missing the very obvious, but I have just purchased
a replacement Thinkpad and configured it (with W95) for connection to my
AS/400.  It is connected with TCP/IP.  I can access the AS/400 with CA
and with a browser but I cannot map a network drive to it.  I believe
that I have configured it exactly as before, but clearly I have not.

When I go to map the drive, and click on the arrow to the right of Path,
my system is not there.  If I type in the name (after \\) I get the
message -

"The network name is either incorrect, or on a network to which you do
not have full access"

When, by mistake, I mispelt the network name, I got

"The computer or sharename could not be found. Make sure that you typed
it correctly, and try again."

There is an entry for it in my W95 hosts file. If I look in network
neighborhood, there is my system.  If I click on it, I am prompted for
my user ID and Password and see just a list of OUTQs, but no folders,
yet the same AS/400 profile allows this on my other thinkpad.

Any kind person who can tell me what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks

Rob Dixon
