What version of OS/400 are you on?

Until recently, QNTC only supported Windows NT/2K/XP/2K3 and had specific
checks that would cause that.  When they added Linux to the iSeries, they
started supporting Samba with QNTC.  So, in theory, that might open up the
ability to connect to other boxes.

Your appliance probably supports NFS, you might give that a try.

We're on V5R1 at the moment. I'm trying to make some existing apps work that were written to use qntc, so they've got all the conditional mkdir stuff built in. Engineering snuck this one in when we weren't looking. The Netapp box seems to support all versions of Windows. We've got plenty of old NT4 boxes around, and I haven't heard of any other problems, just that the AS400 can't access the share. IBM said qntc would support Samba. They suggested that maybe it had something to do with SMB signing being active, which qntc doesn't support, but that was before I realized I wasn't working with a windows server. Maybe Samba is using SMB signing, but wouldn't that cause problems with the NT4 workstations? The only error message we've been able to identify says that either the server isn't active, or it's using an unsupported protocol. I guess maybe that could point to SMB signing?!? Anyway, we sent a trace to netapp, but they don't seem to be falling all over themselves to fix it.
