Hi Marine.<br />
<br />
I forgot to mention that we haven't got any problems accessing the Sharepoint server UNC from other servers or client-computers. It's only this server.

Hi.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to access our Sharepoint site from file explorer. But everytime I do that, I get this message:<br />
<br />
<i>&quot;You were not connected because a duplicate name exists on the network&quot;</i><br />
<br />

I've checked our DNS server and there are no duplicate names and when I ping the computername, I get the right IP.<br />
<br />
I've have no problem accessing our Sharepoint site from IE.<br />
<br />
What can I do to solve this?
