Re: IBM i access to Windows folders

I have tried multiple times to get this access to work. I cannot get any
further than entering WRKLNK '/QNTC//server'

When I enter a 5 to go into the server path, all I get is:


Opt Object link Type Attribute Text
. DDIR
.. DDIR



When I look at the joblog, I see:

Message ID . . . . . . : CPDB050 Severity . . . . . . . : 30
Message type . . . . . : Diagnostic
Date sent . . . . . . : 08/11/21 Time sent . . . . . . : 15:27:01
Message . . . . : Session initialization error with network server
xxxxxxx.
Cause . . . . . : The IBM i NetClient (QNTC) file system detected an
error
attempting to initialize a session with network server xxxxxxx.
Recovery . . . : Ensure the QSERVER subsystem is started and IBM i
Support
for Windows Network Neighborhood (IBM i NetServer) is operational.
If the network server is loaded on a IBM i Integrated Server, ensure
that
the NWSD is varied on and the server is active.
If the network server is a remote system, ensure that the system is
active
and the server program has been started. If the network server is an IBM
i
NetServer, ensure that the IBM i NetServer has been started on the
network
server.
Technical description . . . . . . . . : An error code 3448 was received

QSERVER is started and IBMi NetServer is operating. The message above
refers me to this one:


Message ID . . . . . . . . . : CPE3448
Message file . . . . . . . . : QCPFMSG
Library . . . . . . . . . : QSYS
Message text . . . . . . . . : The protocol required to support the
specified
address family is not available at this time.

I saw an article from IBM [
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.3?topic=qntc-environment-variables] which
mentions setting Environment Variables for QNTC. Does anyone have these
set? If so, are they set at the *JOB or *SYS level? I need SMB2 protocol.
I can PING this server from a green screen command line.

When I make any changes to these variables, do I need to IPL, or just
restart i5/OS NetServer?
