SYMPTOMS
When you use Windows 95 or Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks to connect to an FPNW volume that contains directories with long names on a computer running Windows NT 4.0 Server with Service Pack 2 and FPNW, the clients will not display the 4.1 directory list correctly.

Below is a sample of a "dir" (directory command) issued at the command prompt. You can see that the first directory with fewer than 9 characters is used in place of the 8.3 directory name for every long directory.

Volume in drive I is TESTVOL Directory of I: WWWROOT               01-10-97  4:19p 123456789 WWWROOT               01-10-97  4:25p Document1 WWWROOT               01-13-97  8:57a wwwroot DIR1    TXT            37  01-13-97  9:52a dir1.txt 1 file(s)            37 bytes 3 dir(s)  1,999,896,576 bytes free



CAUSE
This is a regression caused by Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 2.



RESOLUTION
Install the updated Fpnwsrv.sys file.
