Article 166331 of comp.os.vms: HI I hope someone knowledgeable can give me some suggestions. I have just installed Windows NT 4 and am attempting to connect to our VAX via TCP/IP. I can successfully map shares with short names however if any section of the share path exceeds 12 characters the map fails. For example share:- \\VAXA\12345%BLOGGS will map ok however share:- \\VAXA\123456%BLOGGS will fail. What is going on ? Is there any way around this problem ? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Many Thanks CliveGordon cliveg@kodak.com
