Hi, I'm trying to mount some network drives in our iTNC530 control. I mounted a drive that's located on a Windows 2000 computer with no problems but I can't seem to get the one with windows XP to work. I can ping the computer and see the shared folder from other computers.

 

Any ideas???

 

 

Thanks,

Neil.

Check the IP and subnet mask. What program are you using? We use TNCremote here.

Hi Josh, I can TNC remote to upload but I find it's one less step if I just post the program to my computer and when the operator needs the program it's listed in his control under my networked drive. There is no software to setup, it's settings inside the control.

What brand of machine are running? I've had good luck getting q's answered by our Hermle guys.

 

Neil, sort of off- topic, but what do you think of nx6?

[Steve@Cimco]

From another Pc on the network can you access the shared folder on the XP machine? Does the user set in the iTNC exist on the XP machine? Try turning off Windows firewall or installing some NFS software

Steve Hattori, we're running a TOS HMC. I did talk to them a few years ago when I was setting up the old computer but if I recall correctly, they didn't seem to be much help back then.

 

As for NX6, I've only been using it a couple of weeks now but I'm really starting to like it. We skipped NX5 so it took some getting used to, mostly with the way the dialogue boxes look. Some areas they've added more mouse clicks (ex: placing points in a sketch, you have to click apply after placing each one, ARGHH!!), other areas have been streamlined. Probably the most important new feature for us (which was added in 5.02) is the new and long overdue hole series. If this works as well as I hope it does, this will save us hours!

Steve@Cimco, thanks for your suggestions. Yes, I can access the shared folder from other computers on the network. Firewall is turned off. Can you elaborate on the "user set" on the XP machine?

 

FWIW, we do run Cimco DNCMAX for our VMC's

[Steve@Cimco]

Hi Neil, on the iTNC in the Define mount settings you can specify the IP of the XP machine and the user name and password that you use to log on with. Do you have anything set for the user name and password?

SOLVED!!! Thanks for your help with this guys. I needed to change some of the group policies on the computer, here's what worked:

 

Use the built-in XP Group Policy editor (gpedit.msc) and locate the Computer ConfigurationWindows SettingsSecurity SettingsLocal PoliciesSecurity Options branch. Make sure to disable the following policies:

 

"Domain Member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always)"

"Domain Member: Digitally sign secure channel data (when possible)"

"Domain Member: Digitally encrypt secure channel data (when possible)"

 

 

and

 

 

use the built-in XP Group Policy editor (gpedit.msc) and locate the Computer ConfigurationAdministrative TemplatesSystemUser Profiles branch. This is described in Microsoft's Technet Q327462. Make sure to enable the following policy:

 

"Do not check for user ownership of Roaming Profile Folders"

 

Hope this helps someone out.

 

Neil.

Not sure but hope that computer is not on the internet... cimco NFS that should come from heidenhain works great with the XP firewall diabled.

Good point, no it's not connected to the internet.
