First break through: I can create the problem! When I join the NAS to the domain, among other things he makes a DNS entry. There is something wrong with that entry! I don't know what, yet but I do know that I can add an entry, say "NASTY.TCLC.org = 10.1.1.80" and "dir \\NASTY.TCLC.org\d0" works, until I name the NAS "NASTY" and join the domain. Then "dir \\NASTY.TCLC.org\d0" no longer works.There seems to be no way to "rehabilitate" such a damaged domain name, but I'm sure there must be some cache that I am no purging.This is an "Active Directory" data storage DNS service, so there is probably some Active Directory cache that I need to find.

With a clear statement of the problem, I should be able to make progress.

Thanks for the help,
