Re: Operations Navigator and IFS share problem

Well, the suggestion that follows is security by obscurity, but it is fairly common. Put a dollar-sign after the share name - it will be invisible but usable in Windows. E.g., say root$ instead of root. Then you need to know to use the $ as in \\host\root$ 

I have seen a C: drive called c$ a lot.

Now let the rebukes rain on me!

Once you have the machine, you should be able to install iSeries Access yourself by pointing to \\your-iSeries-IP-address\qibm\ProdData\Access\Windows\Install\Image 

That assumes that you've shared the root directory of your IFS!  (shudder)
