  • Yes, this fix worked for me although I am unsure if it would have fixed the original poster's problem. My problem was that someone had configured the DNS tab of my ethernet adapter to use a different (trusted) domain name for DNS suffixes instead of the computer's primary domain. So when we tried to go to \\computername it was trying to reach out to \\computername.otherdomain.local instead of \\computername.mydomain.local. Cursing whatever admin did that on this machine.
