we are ontap 6.01r3d3, nfs and cifs. clients are winnt 4.0 sp5 using sun nfs client sw and native winnt cifs.
filer dns name = file1 filer wins name = joe users is the nt share
if i do
net use * \joe\users
i get a cifs connection
if i do
net use * \file1\users
i get an nfs connection
if i try to map a drive from the explorer gui to \file1\users i get network path not found.
our normal syntax to map drives using nfs is
net use H: sunbox:/usr/local/h
is there anyway to get a cifs connection using the dns name on a client that has both nfs and cifs on it??
we want to migrate from nfs to cifs. we want to use the dns names, and we can't [easily] remove the nfs client.
thanks.
