revchrisI've been working on a new setting up a new notebook for one of the profs. I get to play with Vista, which really hasn't been a problem.
For the past two days, however, I've been (unfortunately) winning a game of "stump the techs" with the tier 2/3 people at CAE. Their Novell servers now allow connection via UNC path, without needing the Novell client installed. It's not working on either of my notebooks (XP and Vista) or with either of the accounts I tried.
Today I took the Vista notebook over there and they tried everything they normally do, and it didn't work for them, either. Eventually we discovered that, of the 6 user directory servers, it works on the one that the CAE staff use but not on the one that I'm on. I'm now "officially vindicated" for not knowing what was wrong or fixing it myself, and the server guy has been notified that it's now his problem.
