Unable to map a drive to the IFS ?

[dev11mn]

When trying to map a drive to the ifs, it doesn't connect? It takes the user name and password and then comes right back to the same sign in screen. This seems to be happening when using windows Xp. When using Windows 2000 I can get it to work? I have a few differnet users with this issue, does anyone have an idea? Is this something with Windows? I could use some help on this issue..
Thanks..

We've had issues with that also. One thing to remember that if the (can't remember which right now) sysval on the as/400 is set to non-case sensitive, you'll need to key in you password in either all upper case, or all lower case (forget normal logon rules). You also may need to change the setting in iseries navigator so it won't use the Windows username and password "no prompting" - to just the user name, and save the password when you create the map.

We used iseries shares for years...then along comes XP. Gee thanks. I really want to move everyone to Linux, but that's neither here nor there. What I've done is...

If we are getting a file to the ifs, usually from a cpytopcd, I add an ftp to the program to copy to a windows share they already have. If you'd like to use that, I can post some code for you.
