SYMPTOMS
========
Microsoft Windows NT 3.1 systems cannot see any files in a directory on a
Hewlett-Packard (HP) LM/X 1.4 server if any file in the directory contains a
period (or "dot") followed by more than seven characters. If you use the "dir"
command to check the contents of the directory, you will receive the following
message:
File Not Found.
CAUSE
=====
HP LM/X 1.4 systems negotiate to Server Message Block (SMB) Specification Ext
2.0 (LAN Manager 1.x), which doesn't support long filenames. When speaking this
down-level protocol, Windows NT 3.1 does not set bit 4 of Byte 9 of its SMBs.
This bit is defined as follows:
flags (smb_flg) bit 4:
"When on, all paths sent to the server by the consumer are already in
the canonicalized format used by OS/2. This means that file/directory
names are in upper case, are valid characters and backslashes are used
as separators."
STATUS
======
A fixed, untested version of the RDR.SYS driver is available from Microsoft
Product Support Services.
