hi,

you can try run "dfsutil cache referral" command on windows xp system find active targetset provided error message.

then check if can access referral \\server\share instead of \\domain\share.

as there no dfsutil.exe build in windows xp, need install support tool.

windows xp service pack 2 support tools
