Re: Sharing an IFS directory with windows or linux box.

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First question "Is it plugged in?" Actually, go to OpsNav, to 
Network->Servers->TCP/IP (I think). Then see whether NetServer is active. 
Or, if you are on V5R2, go to QUSRTOOL (install if need be) and create the 
GO NETS tool, which gives you a menuf or managing NetServer.

If active, check for disabled user profiles. This is available by 
right-click in OpsNav, somewhere. I don't know if "net view" requires log 
in. If you are on 89, user ID and password must match the iSeries.

There are a couple troubleshooting documents in the Software Knowledge Base 
for NetServer, also.

The jobs that handle NetServer start with QZLS* - find out the job 
description in use and change it to LOG(4 0 *SECLVL) LOGCLPGM(*YES), then 
stop and restart NetServer. You might get some logging this way.
