Re: Connecting to an IFS share with Windows XP

Thank you Evan for trying. You are helping me narrow down the search.

How do you know the passwords are the same?

I have my 5250 set to bypass the signon, using my windows user profile and
password. It signs me on with out fail every time.

what happens if you enter the user/password combination that is failing

manually ?

I get the repeating prompt for connection that I mentioned in my original
post.

Have you considered changing the password at both ends (i.e. windows and

iSeries) to be sure they are the same ?

I just changed both passwords this week. It is exhibiting the same failure
both before and after the password change, and before and after all reboots.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks again!

Jim

I think the QZLSFILE job comes up once there is a share; the QZLSSERVER (?)
job may have a job log that indicates if there is an authentication issue.
It's also worth checking the history log to see if you can get a bead on
any
others jobs initiated at the same time.

they are the same ? You may need to reboot after changing the windows
password to force it to try and make the connection with the new password
instead of some old cached copy.

I find these problems difficult to provide advice for...
