Question : Error 67 mapping drive from XP SP3 (workgroup) to file server (Novell Linux)

Hello,

I have a Windows XP SP3 computer in a workgroup that access files from drives mapped to a Novell Linux server across the TCP/IP network. I've narrowed the problem down to the workstation itself. I can map the drives in question off any computer, including those not included in the work group. When I attempt to map the drive off the problem computer, I receive a "System Error 67 has occurred. The Network name Can Not Be Found" error.

- I can ping the IP of the file server from the problem computer.
- I can access the web interface of the file server  from the problem computer.
- If I attempt to access the server shares by IP directly (\\192.168.1.200\share) I get a "Windows can not find '192.168.1.200'" error message.
- I try to browse the workgroup from the problem computer but can only see the shares available from the computer itself. I can not see or access any of the other workgroup computers or shares.

What I have done so far:

- Checked the logs and found nothing.
- Removed the computer from the workgroup and rejoined it.
- Removed and reinstalled the adpapter.
- Set enable NetBIOS of TCP/IP in the advanced properties for the adapter.
- Ran the WinSock Fix tool.

Also of note: The adapter is set to DHCP for addressing and DNS. If I try an ipconfig /release, I get an error stating that "The RPC Server is unavailable" for the adapter.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I'm stumped and the MS KBs didn't help.

Thanks,
Mark

Diifficult when that happens. Be sure to run a malware scan as well.
Sometimes files get delete from scanning or are damaged, files
sfc does not pick up or registry keys. A system restore may do it if available.
A repair install may be your ultimate option
if cleaning doesn't solve it.
