Hello, I have common files served from Enterprise Server using Samba. The client is Windows 98. There are no problems with long filenames. I get the following when creating new shared files on the Windows Client: Long filename ; DOS short name ; Expected short name test ; test ; test test1 ; test1 ; test1 etc. test1111 ; test1111 ; test1111 test11112222 ; T39VQJ~9 ; test11~2 test11113333 ; T3M29T~D ; test11~3 Filenames up to and including 8 characters have the same shortname, and for names greater than 8 fairly random names are generated. Is there a switch to change the way short names are created, so that, for names greater than 8, at least the first six characters are the same as the long name. That is what I have become used to with Windows.
