CIFS/9000 error: SRV: Invalid netname

I had CIFS/9000 client software working fine for a long time mounting a share from a windows system. They recently moved it to a different system. I have adjusted the mount command portion accordingly. However, I now can not get past the error message: Connecting Share: SRV: Invalid netname I have searched the web and could only find one exact instance of this error with no information about what exactly is causing it. Has anyone ever seen this one before ? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: CIFS/9000 error: SRV: Invalid netname

what is the name of the new system? If it has spaces, punctuation, or non-alpha numeric characters it may be invalid.
If it has wheels or a skirt, you can't afford it.

I shortened up the tree for the mount point on the unix side and now it works. There are some other small bugs I need to work on, but I think I'm almost there. Thanks all...

Re: CIFS/9000 error: SRV: Invalid netname

Since the share was now shorter in it's name, it no longer liked the long directory structure on the unix side (or so it seems), I got it to work. Thanks all.
