Hello Justin,

QNTC doesn't require the same subnet. IBMi automatically sees SMB shares on the same subnet. Shares on other subnets have to be added manually (e.g. QSTRUP) with MKDIR.

Good point!

However, it has been established for decades that "network browsing" through broadcasts is highly unreliable, especially when many clients are involved. Microsoft has therefore invented the concept of a central "browsing server", called WINS. I haven't found evidence that QNTC configuration supports specifying a WINS server.

All in all, manual directory creation seems preferable because probably more reliable.

:wq! PoC
