MSU Troy facility can't map back to campus AFS or the Business College servers either. Sincerely, Matthew C.

And so I understand (and support) why I can't map drives from my home system to my AFS space. > > But I've always been able to map a drive from a work machine, on campus here in the Physical Plant bldg, to my AFS space. However, in the past week or so, it appears that this no longer works either. Normally I just map through the Windows Explorer file mgmt GUI, but when this didn't work I went to the command prompt to see what's going on (or not, as the case may be...), and this is what I see: > > C:\>net use O: \\afs.msu.edu\fishbeck > System error 53 has occurred. > > The network path was not found. > > C:\>net use O: \\afs\fishbeck > System error 53 has occurred. > > The network path was not found. > > Note that I'm not being denied access, nor is it the case that no connection is being made. Instead, it seems to be the case that the network path, i.e., my home directory (pilot user id) name isn't being located/resolved/whatever. > > And the fishbeck directory really does exist, and is spelled correctly. See, for example, the ftp session below: > > C:\>ftp pilot.msu.edu > Connected to pilot.msu.edu. > 220- > 220-Michigan State University > 220- Pilot FTP Server > 220- > 220- Authorized users only > 220- > 220 FTP server ready. > User (pilot.msu.edu:(none)): fishbeck > 331 Password required for fishbeck. > Password: > 230 User fishbeck logged in.
