Topic: Win 2k error when saving file

[Ralph]

I am running a win2k server and using a SME 5.1 server as a shared drive.

When I save a file from the win2k server I get the following error:

"An erro occurred while reconnecting  : to \home\shared-drive
Microsoft Windows Network:  The local device name is already in use.
This connection has not been restored."

The file seems to save ok but the error is a constant pain.

I though I read somewhere here that I needed to change something in my registry but I cant find the post.

Any advice?

This sounds like one of the many Microsoft problems with Universal naming convention. Search the Microsoft Knowledge base for instructions on turning off UNC.
