Canonical path not available for (folder name)

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I've configured a FS Rep on folder on Windows 2000. Portal is running on AIX 5.2 I've created a domain file and referenced that in the Security Manager. Network path has been created and given in the Root Directory, However I cant see the Repository under root and Component Monitor also shows it red...I checked the defaultTrace file and got the following:-

"Canonical path not available for (folder name)"

Any ideas...what's missing..

Hi Vaibhav.

Normally "canonical path not available for (folder name)" means:

1. Wrong username/password. Please double check you credentials.

2. The resource cannot be linked from the portal server. Please be sure that you can connect to the next ports in windows server from the Unix Server:

a. NetBIOS Session Service TCP 139 This port is used to connect file shares for example.

b. TCP 445 The SMB (Server Message Block) protocol is used among other things for file sharing in Windows NT/2000/XP. In windows NT it ran on top of NetBT (NetBIOS over TCP/IP), which used the famous ports 137, 138 (UDP) and 139 (TCP). In Windows 2000/XP/2003, Microsoft added the possibility to run SMB directly over TCP/IP, without the extra layer of NetBT. For this they use TCP port 445.

I hope these things help somebody.
