On the Windows server side it's trivial to set up. Just create / format an NTFS volume (for example new virtual hdd) and add an additional location (Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Managment, right-click on drive and click "Change Drive Letter and Paths"). This will allow mounting the volume within an existing SMB share (like a bind mount in Linux). If you don't want to go through setup and just want to glance at pcaps of Windows Client <-> Windows Server in this case I have some I can send to interested parties. I don't have patch ideas at the moment. Andrew
