Hi Richard,
> In my domain both commands work and give identical results. I think you have a DNS problem.
I'd love to know I have a dns problem but.... what kind of dns problem would produce this result?
What would I look for?
All my dns zones are AD internal, all dns servers replicate.
Another symptom that my be related is that when I am on my machine at home, which has a VPN to the
company network and uses the same WINS and dns server as the mailnew sever, and I issue the command:
net use \\mailnew\c$ /user

OM\logonname
it will reply within the 1 or 2 seconds asking my password but after providing that it will take 20+
seconds to come back with the success report.
After that a dir \\mailnew\c$ will produce the correct result straigh away.
Doing the same for \\mailnew.tio.nl\c$ I have the same delay after providing my password but also
after a success report I will have the another long 20+ sec delay when entering the dir command and
before the results are produced.
So something is probably wrong but what?
