Question

The most likely reason for this issue is that SERVERA does not have a NetBIOS name record on any WINS server. Without the NetBIOS name record, the user's computer cannot resolve the IP address associated with the name, preventing access to the shared folder. Setting up replication, connecting to the LAN but not the Internet, or incorrect UNC syntax would not prevent access to the shared folder if the NetBIOS name record existed.
