Windows Server Network Share


Recommended Posts

I have joined the client pc to domain, and after creating a folder to share (from the server), on the pc client, i've manually mapped the drive, and was able to see that it worked when i clicked under network. now when i type \\"path", it can't recognize it.

 

anyone knows what the reason is?

well what are you using for name resolution - wins, broadcast, dns what is your node type set too?

 

can you ping the server by name?

 

Can you view the shares - what error do you get?

 

so

 

C:\>ping storage

Pinging storage.local.lan [192.168.1.8] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.8: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.1.8: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128

 

See how it comes back fully qualified - does yours?

 

What do you get when you do net view \\servername

 

C:\>net view \\storage                                                            
Shared resources at \\storage

What if you try it by IP address

 

C:\>net view \\192.168.1.8
Shared resources at \\192.168.1.8

what does your node type say for name resolution

 

C:\>ipconfig /all

Windows IP Configuration

   Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : i5-w7
   Primary Dns Suffix  . . . . . . . : local.lan
   Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid
   IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
   WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
   DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : local.lan

                                           

Again what error do you get do you get 53 or 5?  Does it ask you for auth when you do \\ipaddress

sounds like networking issues to me...

 

also: your second image doesn't show what you are trying to say; and the \\: just because you do the \\ doesn't mean it will populate with your server name; it must be cached for it to auto-complete.

 

can you ping the server from the client (IP and FQDN, like win2008r2.local)? is the client and the server in the same subnet, mask and gateway?

 

did you change to domain server name AFTER it was promoted?

So your logged into a box called dns2008r2, and your accessing win2008r2..  Can see not much thought went into server names ;)  What share name are you trying to access via \\win2008r2.local

 

.local is a horrific choice of a domain name, its single label and .local which apple products use when searching for mdns, etc.

 

what path are you typing "ow when i type \\"path", it can't recognize it."

 

so clearly you can see the shares off \\win2008r2.local, so when you run \\win2008r2.local what do you get??  You should see those shares you see with net view
