Sonic Wall SRA 4200 and Win 2K8R2

[Stuart_C]

Hi all,

Just found a problem with my Sonicwall device and my new 2K8 R2 servers. I can't access any file shares through it without having to re-enter my username and password. This only works for access shares via the HTLM version, the Java version just stops with an error.

 

I've an officail case open with Sonic wall but the un-official one I had on their support forums yielded a quicker response that Sonicwall were aware of the issue and looking at a fix to enable prompting in the Java version as well. Apparently I can specify the credentials to use and that will work as well but that's a bit useless.

 

Now I'd rather have a fix that made it work properly like is did and still does with my Win2k3 DC's.

 

Thought some people may be interested.

Might help if you post the error message

It's OK I figured it an It's my bad

 

It's all down to DNS issues as I creted and host address for it which wasn't being resolved locally. Created a new entry in DNS and it started working. I had previously been using IP address during testing.

 

Unfortunaltely it was very similar to a problem they are currently having. Of slight concern is that I received quicker response on the free forum rather than the technical support I am paying for.
