Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Skip - updating ShopzSeries is exactly what I had been using it for when it worked.
If I remember right there are two address spaces DFS and DFSKERN. I have watched the startup and it looks like DFSKERN is starting and failing with a IOEW16075A ... Host name registration failed ..." message. It then goes away. I can successfully map and access the drives until it does. Now if I can get it to register successfully, or not attempt registration I'll be a happy sysprog.
