- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:buglist3.10 fixlist3.10.003

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:

- 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 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.
-
- Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows
- NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We will post new information here in
- the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
