XP vs. Vista
« on: July 27, 2009, 01:39:55 PM »

When I access the 321 with my XP machine, then create a folder, it works just fine. When I access the 321 with my Vista machine, then create a folder, I get this message:

The \\DLINK-5198D8\Volume_1\D-Link DNS-321\{NAME OF PARENT FOLDER IN WHICH I WAS TRYING TO CREATE A FOLDER} folder does not exist. The file may have been moved or deleted. Do you want to create it?

Well, it's pretty obvious that the parent folder has not been moved or deleted. If I click on yes, the message reappears. If I click on No, the message goes away, and I end up with a new folder called "new folder", not what I tried to name it.

Now, if I attempt to rename the new folder to a name of my choosing, the error comes back and I start all over. So it appears, that I can only create folders called "new folder" with my Vista machine.

Suggestions?

I have seen this error before but it actually ended up being my laptop. I have not figured out what causes it in Vista but I ended up just formatting my PC =\. Sorry it is not much insight.

Have you tried enabling LLTD (Link Layer Topology Discovery) through the settings of the DNS? Supposedly it is supposed to help with Vista machines.

I had a chance to hook up a second Vista laptop, which had no issues. So it does appear to be this first Vista machine specifically. Strange.
