Hoping perhaps someone on the list has run into this. At the moment I'm about to fall asleep in front of my laptop...
Situation...had a NAS checkup post a warning that it couldn't ping a DC with an APIPA address named *SMBSERVER. The APIPA address was 169.254.2.238. Discovered that one of my DCs had a NIC enabled but not connected, and guess what? DHCP was enabled on the NIC and it had the address of 169.254.2.238... So, disabled the NIC, ran a nas_checkup on my NS-20 Celerra, and still had the error. I stopped and restarted the CIFS services (per EMC support) and the nas_checkup came back clean. (YAY!) Then tried to connect to CIFS and no dice... (BOO!) I've checked every service I can think of to check, even restarted a few. Re-enabled the NIC to no avail... I do know that the APIPA address for the disabled NIC is still in the registry, but at this point I don't think that matters, because the Celerra theroretically doesn't know about it anymore. The Celerra can ping both of my DCs just fine, and I can ping my NetBIOS CIFS share server names no problem. However when I try to connect to \\servername<file:///\\servername> or \\IP-address<file:///\\IP-address>, I get: "No network provider accepted the given network path." Going on 5 hours with no CIFS shares, and this is from both windows 2003 DCs, and two different member servers, one Windows 2003 and one Windows 2000. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, Jonathan L.
