Common Internet File System troubleshooting

The Common Internet File System (CIFS) server provides network drive letter access to the memory card in the HP all-in-one. This lets you read and write files on the network from the memory card in the HP all-in-one. The CIFS server appears on your computer as a network drive. In addition to reading and writing files from your memory card, you can also create folders and store other information. Use this section to address CIFS server limitations and errors.

Other users on the network can access my memory card

Cause

This is a limitation of the Common Internet File System (CIFS) server.

Solution

The CIFS server does not support authentication. However, you can increase the privacy of data on your memory cards.

For more information on increasing memory card security, see Change memory card security and the printed User Guide that came with your HP all-in-one.

Error message: Cannot find the file or item. Make sure the path and file name are correct.

Cause

The CIFS server is not operational.

Solution

Retry your task at a later time. Also, you might need to turn off CIFS security. For more information, see Change memory card security .

Cannot access CIFS server in Windows 98.

Cause

You cannot access the CIFS server in Windows 98 unless you first log on to the network.

Solution

Make sure you log on to the network before attempting to access the CIFS server.

File names have arbitrary characters

Cause

CIFS sometimes displays file names created by other applications as arbitrary text.

Solution

Change the file names to something more meaningful.
