RE: Need to manipulate files on the AS400's IFS without using Cli ent Access

["Haase, Justin" <Justin.Haase@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One problem we have noticed with CA Express and Win2k is that we can no
longer refer to our systems by their names - you are REQUIRED to use the IP
address, even if you add it to your host table and even if it's in DNS for
your domain.  Give that one a shot.  So instead of \\qserver\home\files\ use
\\10.1.1.2\home\files or whatever your internal (or external if you're that
frisky) IP is.

Curt,

Sorry I can't be of much help with your actual problem. I just wanted to
tell you that the Find Computer function is still there in Windows 2000.
From the Start button menu, chose Search, Files or Folders. When the search
window appears, scroll the left-hand pane all the way to the buttom and you
will see a section "Search for other items" where there is a link to search
for computers.

My guess is that your original problem is due to Windows network
configuration rather then Netserver. It seems to me that Netserver would
respond the same regardless of where the request originated, as long as the
request can find its way to the AS/400. I had similar problems when my
Netserver was not defined to the WINS server. Also, there is a place in your
Netserver configuration where you identify your WINS server. This may have
something to do with it.

-Marty
