Hi Karl, Actually I got that error on the repository connection page and almost the same "SmbException thrown: A duplicate name exists on the network" on the Path tab, where there is no box to type the path (see attached snapshot). Can you advise why it's not possible to have path e.g. "domain.net/dfs" in the Server field on repository connection page? I think that might help to browser to that DFS root.

If so, you might be able to just ignore this error, and type in a path on the Paths tab. If that doesn't work for you, I can't help you debug your network. You will want to contact Michael Allen at jcifs.samba.org, and ask for network debugging help.
