For Linux users, make sure the computer name or IP address is correct. If it’s not, recreate the user by removing the existing user and adding it again.

Make sure the users are using the proper procedure for accessing the shared folders, including the correct name or IP address of the storage system. (You can use the storage system name only if that name is registered with a DNS server on your network.)

Windows users can’t access shared folders using the Storage System Console unless their computers are on the same subnet as the storage system. If using the Storage System Console does not work, try accessing the shared folders using My Computer or Windows Explorer.

Make sure the user’s computer is connected to the network and can otherwise access the storage system.

To check the network connection in a Windows environment, click Start --> Run and type cmd. At the command prompt, type the following: “ping IP_address” where IP_address is the IP address of the storage system. If you do not see ”Reply from...”, the problem is with your network.
