I search for help with a confusing error with Windows 7 mounting a network fileshare.

The problem is that on machine A a mount with the FQDN fails (net use system error 67) while the same command with the IP address succeeds. On another machine B the mount is successful with both the FQDN and the IP. So I think it's not (only) a problem of the fileserver but of the local Windows system. Sadly I can't find any major configuration differences like Windows firewall restrictions or anything else.

Machine A - FQDN (fails)

C:\Users\student>net use
Neue Verbindungen werden gespeichert.
Es sind keine Einträge in der Liste.

C:\Users\student>net use X: \\fs1-2-home.xxx.xxx.de\home\users\testuser
Systemfehler 67 aufgetreten.
Der Netzwerkname wurde nicht gefunden.

C:\Users\student>net use
Neue Verbindungen werden gespeichert.
Es sind keine Einträge in der Liste.

Machine A - IP (succeeds)

C:\Users\student>net use
Neue Verbindungen werden gespeichert.
Es sind keine Einträge in der Liste.

C:\Users\student>net use X: \\xxx.xxx.xxx.67\home\users\testuser
Geben Sie den Benutzernamen für "xxx.xxx.xxx.67" ein: testuser
Geben Sie das Kennwort für "xxx.xxx.xxx.67" ein:
Der Befehl wurde erfolgreich ausgeführt.

C:\Users\student>net use

I pinged the FQDN to be sure that it's not a DNS problem.

C:\Users\student>ping fs1-2-home.xxx.xxx.de
Ping wird ausgeführt für fs1-2-home.xxx.xxx.de [xxx.xxx.xxx.67] mit 32 Bytes Daten:

Ping-Statistik für xxx.xxx.xxx.67:

    (0% Verlust),
Ca. Zeitangaben in Millisek.:

C:\Users\student>nslookup fs1-2-home.xxx.xxx.de
Server:  dns1.xxx.de
Address:  xxx.xxx.xxx.4

Name:    fs1-2-home.xxx.xxx.de
Address:  xxx.xxx.xxx.67

I also looked at Wireshark while executing the commands (with the FQDN) on both machines and it seemed that machine A is doing some parts differently than machine B. I noticed for example that the NBSS session request differ in the called name.

Machine A (fails)

NBSS    Session request, to FS1-2-HOME<20> from WINDOWS7_X64<00>
NBSS    Negative session response, Called name not present
NBSS    Session request, to FS1-2-HOME<20> from WINDOWS7_X64<00>
NBSS    Negative session response, Called name not present

Machine B (succeeds)

NBSS    Session request, to *SMBSERV<00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00> from WINDOWS7_X64<00>
NBSS    Negative session response, Called name not present
NBSS    Session request, to *SMBSERVER<20> from WINDOWS7_X64<00>
NBSS    Positive session response

Has anyone come across a similiar problem and has some help for me? Thanks in advance:) .

In my case it helped to start Workstation service:

> net use X: \\Host\Share
System error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.

> net start lanmanworkstation

> net use X: \\Host\Share
The command completed successfully.
