Guys,
I'm working with people to figure out why they can't write their files from the WinNT 4.x PC side to directories in Toasters (running 5.2.1). I've confirmed their problem as well on my PC and a seperate toaster as well.
On the PC, I can NFS mount the filesystem without any problems, and I can view/open files on there as well. But if I try to create a new file, or save changes to an existing file, I just get the following error on the PC:
Check the drive to make sure the door is closed and it contains the correct disk or CD. (G:\JOHN\FOO.DOC)
I'm running NetManage NFS version 7.0.2, do I need a newer version of this software possibly?
One thing I've found out is that if I make the directory the files are in world writeable, then people can update files without any problems. But if the mode is only 775, even the owner of the file can't save changes from the PC (inside Word 97) to that file he owns.
I know the group authenication is correct because the files get the right owner and group membership when they are created in a world writeable directory.
We only have the NFS license for our toasters, maybe we need to spring for and get the CIFS license as well to take care of this problem, but we'd like to find a solution before going that step.
Thanks for any help or suggestions,
