Can access share by alias1, but not by alias2 (from xp client)

Hello,
I have fileserver.domain.com
and clientXP.
I have two aliases for fileserver.domain.com which I added via netdom command:
alias1.domain.com and alias2.domain.com
From clientXP I can access both \\fileserver and
\\alias1 fine, however when trying to access
\\alias2 I get the error:
"you were not connected because a duplicate name exists on the network. Go to system in control panel to change the computer name and try again."
"alias2" name is not used anywhere else in our network.
Nslookup seems to resolve "alias2" correctly from clientXP.
alias1 was added few months ago, so I can't exactly remember if there were any additional steps taken to make it work.
I have tried setting disable strict name checking dword to 1, which seems to have no effect in my situation.

OK it seems all I had to do is to restart fileserver, after that I could normally access file shares on it from clientXP by the name of alias2.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that didn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter the Wi-Fi password.
    If that doesn't help, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • Can access server by IP but not by name

    I am having a problem similar to the one here:http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/244382-cannot-access-file-server-by-name-but-can-by-ip?page=1When accessing a server by name, I receive"\\servername is not accessible.

  • HT1694 I have recently updated my iPad and cannot access my mail account (I can access it through Microsoft) but not the mail app that's on iPad.. It continually keeps saying cannot verify account or password.

    I have updated my pad and now cannot access my Email through mail on the ipad (I can access it on the internet via Microsoft ) I have tried changingassword and server to pop3... But nothing working that if read from ppl. Please help.. As I love using mail on the pad making it much faster and easier to view my mail. I don't wanna go back to logging in over the web....   Please help :)

    When resetting your password, did you turn on two-step authentication? If you did, the Mail App isn't compatible with it - either, you need to create an application password and use that to log in using the iPhone Mail App, (instead of your Microsoft Account password) or disable two-step authentication to make it work.

  • Other PC can access internet via cable but not via wireless.

    Hi, I am new here. But I have a question hopefully someone can help to answer. I juts got myself signed up for one of those portable USB modem that you can use anywhere and you use a phone sim card to access the internet. I connect the usb device to my desktop computer and use a linksys wireless router to connect to other pc in the house. My problem is that the internet can be access by other pc's if I connect the other pc's via a network cable but no internet all if I connect via wireless. Any reason why it work via cable and not via WIFI? Is it the setting inside the router that is not set correctly. I pretty much left the setting on factory default except for the wireless network name. Any help to explain why this is happening is much appreciated. Thanks. Alex

  • For some reason or another I can access Livejournal on IEx but not Firefox, can someone give me a pointer...

    I'm having a problem accessing my LiveJournal from Firefox, but it's fine when I go through Internet Explorer. I prefer Firefox. Can someone help?

    The similar problem, only this site doesn't open, all the others work correct. The blank page is absolute, the browser seems at all doesn't tries to incorporate to the server.

  • I downloaded iOS 8 and my photo stream disappeared. The weird thing is, when I went to post an Instagram picture, they were all there. So I can access them on Instagram but not from the photos app... Help?!

    i have tried turning photo stream on and off and only a few come back

    In iOS 8 the PhotoStream album is lumped into the recently added photos album. Delete a photo there and you will delete it from your PhotoStream.

  • TS2446 I just got my Ipad and I can not download apps.  I get a message saying my Apple ID has been disabled.  I have reset my password, I can access itunes and icloud but still can not download apps.  Can someone please tell me how to get my ID activated

    I just got my Ipad and I can not download apps.  I get a message saying my Apple ID has been disabled.  I have reset my password, I can access itunes and icloud but still can not download apps.  Can someone please tell me how to get my ID activated?  TY

    Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone/iPad then try logging out of your account on the phone/iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

  • Itunes store will not load. I can access my music library but thats as far as i can go

    I can access my itunes library but I can not get the store to load or the itunes helper. I disabled my firewall and pop ups, tryed the dns flush and deleted bonjour. Still nothing?? Very frustrated! Could there be a screen resolution conflict or something else??

    Hey, I read another discussion with the same issue and did a winstock reset. I thought it didn't work so I got ****** off an shut the computer down with yet another failed solution. When i logged back in it worked. Finally. I've been with out itunes store for over a month.

  • HT1725 42404 error after downloading itunes (20+ times!) can access the itunes store but can't do any downloads... itunes support has not offered any valid suggestions

    42404 error after downloading itunes (20+ times!) can access the itunes store but can't do any downloads... itunes support has not offered any valid suggestions

    This is EXACTLY what happened to me and many others. Tech support returned most of my money but not all of it. Figure that one out! It is clear no music is downloaded (or in queue), it is clear an unknown error message is produced, and it is clear we, the consumer, are still being charged anyway. Will Apple require a credit card from its customers and alienate those that do not wish to use a credit card? Will Apple insult its customers and make silly suggestions such as 'Use an iTunes gift card' in much the same way a forum moderator has already recommended?
    I have an idea: Acknowledge the problem publicly (via email, for example) and fix it in a future update. Customers will be more understanding if they know there is a temporary problem and Apple is working hard to fix it. Oh, and return our money, please!

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

    I have an icloud account which I can access via the web but when I go to systems preferences and click on the icloud it sends me to the mobileme closed site?? How do I get it to go to my icloud log in?

    You're saying that when you click on the  iCloud preference pane button it sends you to the defunct MMe
    rather than giving you this?
    Is your profile up to date, i.e. are your running 10.7.5?  Make sure you click on the iCloud button and not the MMe button.

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.
