LAN Manager 2.00 Err Msg: "DOS Error 52: Duplicate Name..." (64489)






This article was previously published under Q64489

SUMMARY

Question:

When I boot my computer, the drivers are installed correctly and Netbind executes. However, I receive the following error from Netbind:
Net 3056: A system error has occurred. DOS Error 52 has occurred. There is a duplicate name on the network.
Why is this error message occurring?

Response:

Be sure that there are no other workstation names on the network that match your workstation or user name. This error will occur if a domain name is listed twice in the LANMAN.INI file; that is, in the "domain" and "othdomains" parameters. If this is the problem, you need to delete the duplicate domain name in the "othdomains" section.
