With older versions of Samba, from a Windows server I could open a share on a Linux server using any of the following forms... Host name: \\hostname\share<file://hostname/share> IP address: \\10.10.10.10\share<file://10.10.10.10/share> Alias Name: \\alias\share<file://alias/share> (as long as 'alias' resolves in DNS) With Samba 4.7.1, I can now only use one of the forms. Host name: \\hostname\share<file://hostname/share> - Works IP address: \\10.10.10.10\share<file://10.10.10.10/share> - I get a logon failure, no permissions, no logon server available Alias Name: \\alias\share<file://alias/share> - I get a logon failure, no permissions, no logon server available This means I can no longer open shares on clustered Linux servers by their cluster names. Any ideas? --Eric
