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

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.

Hi all,

I'm trying to connect a windows box, and ultimately a linux box, to an
AS/400 IFS share at a remote site with no success.

Net View \\Computername reports Error 53, which indicates 'Computer
cannot be located'

On linux, smbclient -L //computername also fails.

A packet trace shows that there is a good connection to the target
machine on port 139 with the session start request, but after twenty
seconds, the connection times out with the following:

session request to COMPUTERNAME failed (Call timed out: server did not
respond after 20000 milliseconds)

The firewall is not reporting any denied packets in it's log.

There aren't any relevant messages in Qsysopr.

Is there a way to view some kind of log on the AS/400 to see why it is
not responding to the session start request?

Thanks.
