- 8.3 (short) filenames connecting NT-XP over network
- Posted by Julian Milano on April 5th, 2004
A few things:
1. Is the XP Home PC using NTFS?
2. You don't need Netbios, just TCPIP.
3. How are the files being copied across? Using XP Windows Explorer or a
third party app?
4. Are u pushing or pulling the files from NT4? Ie. Are you initiating the
copy from NT or from XP?
5. Are you copying or moving the files?
I can't see it being a network problem if the files are going directly from
one PC to the other. Have u disabled all unnecessary services/applications
on both first? Try that then copy the files from XP to NT.

Another question, does it make a diff if the destination drive, on the WinNT
PC, is mapped or not?

.....it was best to be able to locate a device with a broadcast rather than
with any sort of centralized registry or a distributed directory service.
NetBIOS was designed to use broadcasts as the sole means of locating
devices--and we have been stuck with this limitation to this day.
