Stand-Alone DFS errors
I have created a stand alone DFS namespace on a Windows Server 2008 (Enterprise) - it is in a workgroup. When I try to browse to the DFS share from a computer on another subnet I get the error network path not found, but all other shares on the server are accessible. I have ports 135-139 and port 445 opened on the firewall. If I try to map a drive to the share (\\server\namespace) it prompts for credentials and maps properly, but the links then give the error "linkname is inaccessible - the network location could not be found".
did you use FQDN on the DFS path? it looks like it can't browse to it with just UNC path.

I am using the IP to map the drive. Would I still need to use the FQDN?
