It looks like Microsoft buggered up Win2000 so that explorer hangs while trying to view a directory on a Samba server. I can't experiment any more since I removed Win2K beta 3, but I thought I'd give the list a warning. -- Ben Kosse <bkosse@thecreek.com> PC Technician -- Coldwater Creek, Inc. (208) 265-7114

I have just fixed this for the next release. Cheers, Matt

Windown 2000 Professional (builds 2031 and 2072) have problems creating and renaming directories against 2.0.4b (Solaris 5.7 and Sun OS 4.1.x). New Folder creates a directory as expected (Unix attributes fine etc.) but containing a file TESTDIR.TMP. You cannot rename "New Folder" from the 2000 desktop (cannot read from source file or disk...), can rename TESTDIR.TMP but cannot drage & drop anything into "New Folder" (this folder already contains a file named "New Folder" would you like to ...).
