I've installed a NW 5.1 server on a Dell Gx260 computer with 1GIG RAM, 2GIG Hz processor. I have a workstation running XP which I installed the latest client for XP with SP2. I'm trying to copy SP6 to the server to upgrade it. The problem: When I login to server FS1, with supervisor privilages to [ROOT] and I try to access any volume, I'm told I don't have access rights. I can, however, login to server FS1 from an older computer running WIN 98 and I have no problems accessing the file system. Very strange.

I can also login to other servers on my network (different trees) with supervisor rights to [ROOT] and access those files systems just fine from the XP workstation.

Any ideas why XP/NetWare won't give me file access on FS1?
Thanks
Chris
 
I figured it out. Somehow my workstation name was the same as my server name. Once I changed it, it works fine.
