Title: Win 2k error when saving file
Post by: Ralph on July 30, 2002, 07:29:50 AM

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?

Ralph

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