This article was previously published under Q219340 SYMPTOMS
When you read a file list from a remote LAN Manager 2.1-compatible server (for example, an OS/2 server) where the folder you are reading contains multiple files with names longer than 128 characters, the list of files displayed may not contain all files in the remote shared folder.
This does not affect folders shared on computers running Windows NT.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when there are multiple files on the shared folder with names longer than 128 characters. The internal buffers in the Windows NT redirector code does not account for the possiblity of these large names. The buffers have been expanded in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 5 to account for the largest possible names on these systems.
RESOLUTION
