Is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555644 any help?


>An unusual error has been occurring in the last several weeks: we have a server that houses some DBF's for client applications named BTOLD. The code in the VFP programs instructs the application to go to a file called
>
>\\BTOLD\DBF\CHART.DBF
>
>This has been working fine for years. Suddenly, we started getting an error message:
>
>Subscript is outside of defined range
>
>Note that NO arrays are called in the prg.
>
>We finally discovered that the error message itself was a misnomer; what was really happening was that the application was not able to resolve the server name. If we replace the code with:
>
>\\192.168.35.108\DBF\CHART.DBF
>
>everything works perfectly.
>
>When we use the name of the server, the error seems to be highly intermittent, inconsistent. Sometimes it works again after powering down the client computer, sometimes not. Sometimes it works with a particular domain user ID, sometimes not.
>
>Once a client computer gets the message, we've done some troubleshooting. We can ping the server with either the name or the IP address. If we try the
>
>net view
>
>command with the name, we get a 'System error 5'. If we use this command with the IP address, we see the shares as we should. If we try using Windows Explorer to get to the share, we get an error about the target name being incorrect.
>
>We have changed the VFP code to point to the static IP for now, so that endusers do not get the error, but I'm very concerned about what may be causing this error in the first place. A search through the Microsoft KB hasn't really helped much.
