Hi, I configured a LAN (no DHCP)... one NT4-computer, one XPhome... trying
to copy files from the XP- to the NT-computer will result in truncating
filenames to old dos-format (8.3). What could be the reason for this? I use
the newest drivers (NT4SP6a + Updates). Is there a registry tweak to this
(NetBIOS/tcpip-Setup)? The NT-computer on its own works fine using NTFS and
long filenames perfectly. The XP-computer-setup should be ok, I assume the
problem is some kind of network setup within the NT4-computer... btw... I
do NOT have NetBEUI installed as a protocol, just TCPIP. Could this be the
reason? The connection actually is made "using NetBIOS over TCPIP" (says
XP).
Thanx
