Hi Folks, let me describe the situation we have here: a mixed network with 4 Macs (Mac OS 9) and currently one PC (W**dows XP). We have set up a linux-based server with netatalk and Samba (2.2.7) The files formerly based on one of the PowerMacs have been copied to the NetAtalk Volume which now should be shared with the SMB-based users. As most of the filenames do contain Umlauts or other special characters, netatalk uses the ':AB'-style 3-byte-hex-conversion of those characters. As we have evaluated the available documentation, we have found the 'coding system'-parameter for japanese characters. This is apparently of no use for us. My question now is: Is there any possibility to get a correct representation of the hex-encoded characters on the windows-based workstations? The character set used on the server is ISO-8859-1, the PC uses codepage 850. Netatalk is set to ISO-8859-1 as well. Your help would be greatly appreciated, Malte
